Washington, Arizona, Colorado, California, and Oregon would see the biggest number of stores flipped to C&S..
Kroger and Albertsons have released a list of hundreds of stores that would be divested to C&S Wholesale Grocers if federal regulators approve its proposed $24.6 billion merger deal, and the states with the largest numbers include Washington, Arizona, and Colorado.
Under the proposal, Kroger and Albertsons would divest stores in Washington (124), Arizona (101), Colorado (91), California (63), Oregon (62), Illinois (35), Texas (28), Nevada (16), and Alaska (18).
Several states would see 10 or fewer stores divested, including: Idaho (10), New Mexico (9), Wyoming (5), Maryland and Utah (4), Virginia (3), Louisiana and Montana (2), and Washington, D.C., and Delaware (1).
Kroger also revealed the locations of six distribution centers that would be divested to C&S under the plan. Those are located in Phoenix and Tolleson, Arizona (2); Denver, Colorado, (2); Salt Lake City, Utah, (1); and Auburn, Washington (1). A dairy plant located in Denver would also go to C&S if the merger is approved.
It’s been a few months since Kroger updated its proposal to add 166 stores to its original divestiture plan, bringing the total number to 579 that would go to C&S.
At the time of that announcement, Kroger said the updated list included the banners QFC, Mariano’s, Carrs, and Haggen.

“The merger is not a done deal, far from it. We remain focused on stopping the proposed mega-merger for the same reasons we have stated since it was first announced over 20 months ago — because we know it would harm workers, it would harm shoppers, it would harm suppliers and communities, and it is illegal,” the statement said.
“The merger proposal was rejected in January and February by the attorneys general from the states of Colorado and Washington and the Federal Trade Commission. We applaud their actions. They have been in possession of this proposed divestiture list, made public today by the companies, for months and that did not change their opposition to the proposed merger. These legal challenges to the proposed merger are moving forward with hearings beginning at the end of July and scheduled to go through September.”
“...Phoenix crappiest neighborhoods “
Say what ? Biltmore, Camelback, Scottsdale, Arcadia neighborhoods.
WTF are you smoking ?
Albertson’s owns Safeway.
Kroger owns Harris Teeter, among others.
Perhaps but for those areas impacted, it is nearly so.

What about Fred Meyers? I think it is a Kroger store, don’t remember, even though named differently. I don’t see it listed. So no more Albertsons or Safeway. I haven’t seen you in a while as I hang mostly on one long ongoing thread. I hope you and yours are doing well. Been a long last few years.
Since we live way out in the IV, DH shops in GP maybe once every 10 days, I can’t drive for the last few years.
