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 Las Vegas area.
Current market share:
#1 - Walmart 20.3%
#2 - Smiths (Kroger) 19%
#3 - Albertsons 19%
#4 - Vons (Safeway) 6.1%
#5 - Food4Less (Kroger) 5.9%
Combined market share 25.1%
