I was looking at market share data for the major cities where both Albertsons and Safeway currently both operate and was interested in everyone's opinion on what they think the market will look like after the merger. Which brand name will be kept? How many stores will be divested? E.T.C.
This thread is for the Inland Empire area.
Current market share:
#1 - Stater Bros 24,9%
#2 - Costco 11.0%
#3 - Albertsons 7.4%
#4 - Ralphs (Kroger) 6.7%
#5 - Vons (Safeway) 6.6%
Combined mark share 13.3%
