Re: Kroger and Albertsons might merge

I just don't see it happening: too many anti-trust issues would result in divestures all over the country. I agree with those who state that KR may be interested in parts rather than the whole. Kroger is already a perilously unwieldly company in it has too many different banners and is simply involved in too many different types of retail operations. Remember in the 80's when Sears tried to diversify its operations to be all things to all people? It didn't work. I see this potential merger as potential disaster. --Previous Message--
: I know that this board is about history,
: but I am wondering in areas like
: Seattle, where Kroger operates the Fred
: Meyer and QFC banners, what would
: 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.
