merger

Colorado attorneys who sued to prevent the state’s top grocers from merging estimate mountain town residents pay 10% more for groceries than Coloradans living in urban areas.

The state is suing over Kroger's proposed $24.6 billion purchase of Albertsons, which would consolidate about two-thirds of the state’s supermarkets under a single owner.

Grocery workers who fear the impacts of a proposed $24.6 billion merger between the nation’s two largest supermarket chains aren’t swayed by the companies’ announcement this week of the 91 stores across Colorado that would be sold as part of the deal.
