Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of divestitures in the Washington, DC region. Safeway is by far the stronger brand when compared to Harris Teeter - frankly, HT's entire operation in the region seems disheveled when compared to its operation in the Carolinas. I felt the same way about HT stores i...

Re: Kroger to sell 10 Harris Teeter stores in D.C., Virginia and Maryland to Piggly Wiggly owner

With these Harris Teeter stores being sold off, I'm curious as to the banner or banners that will be used in the DC area if the merger were to go through. It seems to me that both banners could co-exist because there are areas where Harris Teeter has multiple stores but there are very few Safeway l...

https://archive.ph/UEkyU I always thought that HT would be the surviving brand in the DMV, but it appears not.

At least I'll still be able to get the Simple Truth Chipotle Hot Sauce if all of my local Harris Teeter's close.

Harris Teeter hiring in Philadelphia

Harris Teeter has some job postings for a fulfillment center in Philadelphia. Expanding the brand into the Northeast maybe? Also curious as how ACME fits in if the Albertsons merger goes through. https://myhtcareers.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/transportation-manager-fulfillment-center-philadelphi...

Re: Kroger opening distribution center in Maryland

Looks like deliveries in Maryland will be branded as Harris Teeter.

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

One big question is, what private labels will this Albertsons/Kroger use? That also depends on the existing contracts that Albertsons has with it's suppliers. It'll probably be several years before they're completely transferred over to Kroger suppliers. Labeling/branding can occur quite quickly......

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

The big question remains though....will the FTC scrutinize this more closely By setting up SpinCo to take duplicate stores, Kroger/Albertsons seem to be answering any possible objections the FTC may have. In the end I don't see why the FTC would block this though. Even combined Kroger/Albertsons ar...
