Re: Kroger and Albertsons might merge

I can only see Kroger looking at parts of Albertson's. In the West they might go after what Albertson's got when ABS bought Buttery, and Nor Cal. Ralph's, Smith's, Fred Meyer, Fry's and QFC pretty much have the rest of the west covered and aquiring some Utah and Arizona stores might violate agreements the FTC and KR made when Kroger bought Fred Meyer. I could see Kroger wanting Jewel, Acme, Shaws, and ABS Florida. Basically everywhere where Kroger and ABS compete Kroger seems to be healthier except N California.

: I think the FTC will have a lot to say if
: Kroger and Albertsons want to combine,
: esp. in places like S. Calif and Las
: Vegas...expect to see a lot of stores
: get sold off. Methinks Kroger is more
: interested in Jewel and Acme, and maybe
: Osco/Savon

: I know that this board is about
: history,

: Seattle, where Kroger operates the Fred

: happen here? I can see Boise having
: both the Albertsons and Fred Meyer
: banners. But I can't see Fred Meyer,
: Albertsons and QFC all surviving in the
: Seattle Market. But I could see some
: becoming Fred Meyer Marketplaces, some
: QFC and maybe Kroger would introduce
: Food 4 Less here. Anyway, please
: forgive me for getting off the normal
: history/architecture subject matter of
: this board.
