The Kroger-Albertsons merger needs to be stopped
The merger of Kroger (Ralphs) and Albertsons (which includes Vons and Safeway) would do no one any good, unless you happen to be one of the owners of these two giant grocery chains. It would effectively end meaningful supermarket competition in California, creating a single monster-sized entity that would control both retail food prices and the grocery store worker labor market. Making things worse is the companies’ plan to divest "unnecessary" stores after the merger, which in Palm Springs, for example, means getting rid of the Albertsons on Sunrise Way and the Vons on East Palm Canyon Drive. Those stores will be spun off to an East Coast wholesaler with no experience in the California retail market, a move that's certain to eventually result in shuttered buildings and lost jobs, with families then forced to pay whatever mega-Ralphs wants to charge for its goods. While we’re lucky to have independents like Stater Bros. and Cardenas to fill some of the gap, the reality is that Kroger will be the big player, well situated for gobbling up smaller chains in its march toward market supremacy.
