- Kroger and Albertsons Tuesday released a list of 579 stores that would be sold off under a proposed mega-merger of the grocery giants, including 63 locations in California.
The vast majority of the California locations are in Southern California, including 11 stores located near San Diego.
According to Bloomberg, Kroger CEO sent a memo to employees at all of the affected stores notifying them of the plans to spin off the locations to C&S Wholesale Grocers if the merger goes through. All employees are expected to be able to maintain their employment with C&S, officials have said.

The only major grocery stores in my area are Fred Meyers (already owned by Kroger) and Safeway. The merger would result in a total grocery monopoly here. No way this can be allowed!!!
Merger this, merger that. How about you develop a new plan and invest in updating your ugly dark stores and products.
These mergers takes away competition. Kroger employees underpaid but CEO makes 20 million.
Yeah block it. That’s crazy
Kroger sucks to work for
Great, less competition, and even more increased prices, just what we need in an already expensive economy
MONOPOLY
We need and want more family owned businesses not monopolies.
they'd basically control the majority of stores in any given area... that leaves like no competition... You'd have Walmart, Target, (Sprouts) depending where you are and Kroger-Albertsons for the majority of the population. Most supermarkets are owned by one of the two companies already.
Florida is about the only state I can think of that wouldn't be too affected. Kroger is a minor player in Florida.
“It’s Joe Albertson’s supermarket, where we go out of our way just for you.”
Nope nope.They are just being greedy.
I shop costco
they need a better distribution plan' the food is not well preserved by the time the customer sets in on the table or attempts to do so in a home prepared meal...
all the 99 cents stores are gone, there used to be one like at every corner, but they all banished over the years..
This happened to the hotel business. Two major chains gobbled up smaller hotels. Prices are basically the same and deals are hard to find.
Grow your own food, so you buy less at grocers.
Eventually they are going to control what you eat whether you like it or not.
Remember "You will own nothing and you will be happy."
While eating those damned bugs because eating meat is unacceptable.
Shop at farmers markets and butchers
FTC will win on this, kroger has priced themselves out of the market!!!
oh wow, after watching thatk video the CEO's released I feel so much better now, lol.
Kroeger owns Ralph’s, and Ralph’s is an expensive market to shop at.
Kinda like when that one big company made tv shows and movies, and one day it purchased all the radio and theaters… which means it could push all its products straight to consumer through Radio, TV, and Movies. Same company got a certain image extended past its original copyright date… 🤷♂️
Terrible merger. Aldi’s & Food Town are the best bargain stores in Houston Texas area. Greedy business owners, have inflated prices.
Workers like me are warily viewing this merger announcement. The list of potential stores "rebranding" here in San Diego is now a total of 11 stores. Please keep us good workers in your thoughts, ok?
Block the merge. After the merge in two years. Then comes the downsizing with retirements and layoffs. There can’t be two of each things. Like the Human Resources department. One of the departments will have to go and relocate as one in another state.
No.......more money for you
Never the people...
When Kroger took over Mariano’s in chicago area, overnight Mariano’s became a trashy store, dirty and really LAZY employees.
dollar stores are not really into selling foods... their food is more suitable for the homeless than for the average home families with over 5 family members..
Kroger is full of shit Walmart will always kick their ass
So they merge..what to call them. Krosons. Yeah..Krosons..I like it.
Merger means stores are already outlets it’s just giving the sellers more options where to expand their products
When ATandT and Comcast merged , as the most expensive merger in history, nobody opposed.
i oppose
I don't like it. There are some places where the two companies own all the supermarkets. A merger will eliminate competition.
Tax breaks being put to use instead of paying employees more.
the foods at this stores are not selling, they are on the selves for months, til they are not eatable and the product is sold anyways... i would spend more money on driving back to return the product, I'd rather not go to that store any more... save' me time and effort and $$$
they do need to unite because as is the food 4less is selling almost expired foods, at a discount, and albertsong is at such a high price, i have not been able to shop there in years... vons you have to pay $1.So more for every product... and they too sell almost expired foods at a very high price...
Alberger's
I wouldn't mind if they merged.
they are competing with walmart though, so they do have to unite to compete with walmart''..
More orchards and produce farms. Products made with natural high quality ingredients that make everyone feel well and keep healthy! 🙏🏼❤️ no imports unless it absolutely necessary
The other countryman inthis add mwants all store to close ,they don’t like us , and would rather see our food chain stores go way, the other man in the add is in the back pocket, lol that’s what is going on ,thanks BigAl California.
There is only 3 billion in cash
As a worker for harris teeter (Kroger) it sucks that this is happening
Look up what happen with Haggens
Yeah, right
The United States is a corporation not a country.
Rodney makes a lot of bread
Once merged Kroger is going to sell off 564 stores to piggly wiggly stores
Aldi owns piggly wiggly now.
@@chrisaycock5965 You might be thinking of Winn-Dixie.
Albertsons business model is to build up a chain and then sell it off. then they start over the Albertsons name is all they keep so they sell it off and the name changes to something like Luckys
Lies lies lies expect higher prices and lower wages
Cns we’ll go out of business in six months
End up closing Jewel, just watch and see this is a joke who cares about people
Lies
Price fixing just like walmart. Get ready, at least biden was cracking down on this. Say what yal want.

Albertsons is to be avoided like the plague - so freaking expensive there. I hope the prices lower - Vote Republican!
i doubt it. Albertsons is a horrible company. The produce in the stores are horrible, and the prices are outrageous. They pay their employees less than walmart, and still overcharge in groceries. I hope they block the merger. Closing 500 stores will kill a lot of peoples jobs.
Voting republican is for the monopolization meaning higher prices.This should be completely illegal
Or just don’t shop at big places
It’s all about stater bros
