I really don't know how this will go through. I feel like Safeway/Vons was already a monopoly and then they merged with Albertsons, which to me feels like a grocery chain that is gigantic. Now they are merging with Kroger and this to me seems insane. Now I know alot of people will say who cares, lots of grocery stores owned by one company what could happen? Well having a chain this big they could raise the price of food in many cities to whatever they want with no repercussions as people have to eat and there is no more competition. I know in my city this merger would mean we would have no grocery stores that are not owned by Kroger(Walmart and Target still sell food though). Its a pretty scary proposition.
