Ferguson files lawsuit to block Kroger-Albertsons merger
Posted On: Jan 18, 2024
On Monday, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed suit to block the proposed $25 billion merger between Kroger and Albertsons. He argues that the deal between Kroger, which owns QFC and Fred Meyer, and Albertsons, which owns Safeway and Haggen, would reduce competition and potentially raise prices for consumers.
