I wonder why the Australian government hasn’t forced divestitures on these two operators. They do have Aldi down there, how much of a market share does Aldi have?
Is there any interest for other International retailers to get into Oz? Like the Japanese retailers? Costco?

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I think this change was made in an attempt to sway public opinion. Most people don't understand the details, all they see is that the number of divested stores went from 413 to 579.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I assume those stores in AZ and CO include the Albertsons/Safeway warehouses and truck fleets-they would just be duplicate facilities for Kroger in those markets.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Safeway is putting money in Phoenix…. Remodeled stores and several new stores in Surprise and one planned in Buckeye. I prefer going to Safeway as the Fry’s stores seem to be getting more shabbier, especially the floors.

Re: Review: King Soopers

Re: Phoenix grocery market share 2023: Fry’s gains share, Walmart share drops
I noticed current Fry’s radio ads include the phrase “You’re never more than 5 miles from a Fry’s”

Re: Cracker Barrel closes Medford, OR location

Re: Phoenix grocery market share 2023: Fry’s gains share, Walmart share drops
Fry’s is the dominant retail advertiser in Phoenix- TV, radio, online, outdoor. You can’t go more that 10 minutes without a Fry’s ad popping up somewhere. AlbertSafeway and Bashas’/Food City seem to only use radio and outdoor. A/S seems to be going to weekly ads through the mail. We get several of t...
