Hi,
The Kroger-Albertson merger would create a behemoth in the grocery
industry, obliterating competition and devastating consumers.^1
Kroger and Albertsons are two of the largest grocery chains in the United
States. If this merger is allowed to proceed, the combined company would
have an even larger market share, giving them outrageous power to set
prices and dominate local markets. The result is higher prices for
consumers and fewer choices for shoppers.^2

The merger would wreak havoc on small businesses and independent grocers.
It would make it almost impossible for them to compete with the combined
company's size and buying power. This would devastate local economies, as
small businesses and independent grocers are often major employers in
their communities.^3
Congress has a responsibility to protect consumers and promote competition
in the marketplace. Blocking the Kroger Albertsons merger would send a
strong message that the government is committed to fostering a competitive
economy and ensuring that consumers have access to a wide range of choices
at fair prices.^4
