California Attorney General

CA-AG v. Albertsons and Kroger

Pending

Albertsons and Kroger allegedly, if these two giants of the retail grocery industry combine forces, it's likely that we'll see reduced competition, a blow to unions looking to negotiate better working conditions, and higher food prices, according to CA-AG. The proposed merger may violate the federal Clayton Act and is expected to further consolidate the highly concentrated retail grocery market in Southern California, leading to fewer choices and higher prices, according to CA-AG.
