That's a good question. I could see Albertsons acquiring Sobey and then Safeway would be reunited. As for Kroger, Loblaw's seems like a good partner. Similar stores and concepts between the two. The Great Canadian Superstore seems similar to a Kroger Marketplace or a small Fred Meyer. I have wondered why Kroger did not take over some of the leases from Target Canada and do a Fred Meyer test in greater Vancouver? It would have been a natural extension of the Fred Meyer brand which would be familiar to Vancouverites because of watching Seattle TV. On a side note, I've been told by someone in the Northern Region Office of Fred Meyer, that pre-Kroger, Fred Meyer had been sniffing around Edmonton, Alberta for expansion and then decided not to.retailfanmitchell019 wrote: ↑February 25th, 2021, 10:02 am On a side note, how come Albertsons (old and post-Safeway) and Kroger have never expanded internationally?
