WHAT THIS MEGA SUPERMARKET MERGER COULD MEAN FOR YOUR GROCERY BILLS By Nathaniel Meyersohn, CNN Business Updated 3:40 PM EDT, Mon October 17, 2022 Link Copied! Ad Feedback Video Ad Feedback 'I need to cut back on things': Family reacts to surging food prices 01:01 - Source: CNN Business New York CNN Business — In a mega-deal that could have a huge impact on grocery shopping in America, Kroger and Albertsons announced Friday plans to merge. If approved by regulators, the nearly $25 billion deal would be one of the biggest in US retail history. The proposed merger, which the companies expect to complete in 2024, would combine the fifth and tenth largest retailers in the country. The companies own dozens of chains, including Safeway, Vons, Harris Teeter and Fred Meyer and reach a combined 85 million households. Ad Feedback Kroger (KR) and Albertsons, which both employ mostly union workforces, want to merge to be more competitive against non-union giants such as Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), and Costco (COST). The grocers are also facing increased pressure from Aldi, the fast-growing German discount supermarket chain. A Kroger-Albertsons merger could reshape the grocery industry. Brandon Bell/Getty Images There’s no guarantee the deal will go through, however. The merger will face intense scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission and other regulators. Opponents, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have already called on regulators to block the deal. The companies say they will divest hundreds of stores in areas where they overlap to win regulatory approval. Ad Feedback Here’s how the mega-merger could impact grocery shopping in America. LOWER PRICES…FOR NOW Prices at the grocery store are a major concern for shoppers right now. Grocery prices increased 13% in September over the last year, the fastest pace in decades. The companies say that they will be able to use $500 million in cost savings from the deal to reduce prices for shoppers and tailor promotions and savings. They will also invest $1.3 billion in Albertsons, including on lowering prices. “Our expanded portfolio, along with more personalized promotions and benefits, will help customers save… and help to relieve the inflationary pressures facing shoppers across the country,” Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen said Friday. Albertsons stores are concentrated more on the West Coast, while Kroger is dominant in the Midwest. Albertsons has higher prices than Kroger and other grocers, analysts say, and they predict Kroger will try to reduce Albertsons prices to be more competitive against discount chains like Aldi.

(Photo by Ting Shen/Xinhua via Getty Images) Ting Shen/Xinhua/Getty Images Grocery store prices aren't coming down anytime soon “This deal could provide some food pricing relief for consumers,” said Ken Fenyo, a retail analyst at Coresight Research. “With Aldi, Lidl and other discount grocers coming in, this positions Kroger to drive the market forward.” But supermarket mergers can also lead to higher prices for shoppers. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Economics and Management Strategy found that “mergers in the supermarket industry can result in significant increases in consumer prices and thereby harm consumers” in highly concentrated markets. Mergers in less concentrated markets are most often associated with price decreases, the study found. Antitrust advocates say the merger would force out competition and concentrate power among the largest chains, driving up prices. “A Kroger-Albertons deal would squeeze consumers already struggling to afford food,” said Sarah Miller, the executive director of the American Economic Liberties Project, a policy group against concentrated economic power. MORE STORE BRANDS Kroger and Albertsons have each been building out their own exclusive food brands in recent years as alternatives to big-name brands. Kroger, for example, offers its own brands such as Private Selection and Simple Truth, while Albertsons has O Organics, Open Nature and others. The two companies’ brands generated a combined $43 billion in sales last year. This is an important strategy for these stores because it’s more profitable to sell their own brands than national labels, and it helps keep big brands’ prices in check. By merging, the companies plan to expand their own brand selection and lower production costs. STORE CLOSURES AND PAIN FOR MOM-AND-POPS Grocery stores in the United States are on the decline. The number of US grocers fell by roughly 30% from 1993 to 2019, according to a report last year by Food & Water Watch, a consumer advocacy group. Analysts say that Kroger and Albertsons are likely to close some of their overlapping stores, particularly in some cities where they are heavily concentrated, such as Los Angeles and Chicago. “There will, no doubt, be some closures if a merger goes ahead,” said Neil Saunders, an analyst at GlobalData Retail. “Over time, the rate of closures may be more pronounced as the combined chains seek to minimize duplication,” he said. Advocates fear the merger would harm small grocery stores. Jason Armond/Los Angeles Times/Getty Images Analysts and advocates also say that a merger would make it harder for smaller grocers and mom-and-pop stores to stay in business. The National Grocers Association, which represents small retailers and wholesalers, said the merger would put smaller competitors at an “unfair disadvantage” and increase “anticompetitive buyer power over grocery suppliers.” This would disproportionally hurt cities and rural areas, where independent stores are typically located. “This deal would almost certainly put more rural towns and Black and Latino neighborhoods in cities at risk of becoming ‘food deserts’ as more local grocers are driven out of business,” said Stacy Mitchell, the co-director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a research and advocacy organization that challenges economic concentration. MERGER FRENZY The food industry in America has consolidated in recent decades. The top five grocers – Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Ahold Delhaize and Amazon – control about half the market, according to UBS. A Kroger-Albertsons merger would spark a fresh wave of mergers and acquisitions as companies seek to keep up, analysts predict. The proposed deal “accelerates the ongoing consolidation of the sector,” said UBS retail analyst Michael Lasser. Amazon “has aspirations to be larger in the space,” he said. “The warehouse clubs, hard discounters, strong [regional grocers] and specialty players will look to fortify their positions.” Paid Partner Content MORE FROM CNN BUSINESS From Warm Springs Ranch/Sprinklr Publishing/Twitter Budweiser's Clydesdale herd grows by two Oct 12, 2022 Alexander Nemenov/AFP/Getty Images SpaceX books another ride for a millionaire around the moon Oct 12, 2022 Ad Feedback CNN BUSINESS VIDEOS •Video CNN CNN reporter describes 'release' from Sandy Hook families as verdict was read Oct 12, 2022 •Video Rob Pinney/Getty Images Robot artist Ai-Da reset while speaking to UK politicians Oct 12, 2022 •Video Tom Werner/Digital Vision/Getty Images Jobs economist: Worker shortage may keep inflation high Oct 12, 2022 •Video Chanwit Whanset / 500px/500px/Getty Images/500px Tilray CEO on pot legalization: Most of America is confused Oct 12, 2022 Ad Feedback Search Log In My Account * Settings * Log Out Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Live TV Audio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * US * Crime + Justice * Energy + Environment * Extreme Weather * Space + Science * World * Africa * Americas * Asia * Australia * China * Europe * India * Middle East * United Kingdom * Politics * The Biden Presidency * Facts First * US Elections * Business * Markets * Tech * Media * Success * Perspectives * Videos * Opinion * Political Op-Eds * Social Commentary * Health * Life, But Better * Fitness * Food * Sleep * Mindfulness * Relationships * Entertainment * Stars * Screen * Binge * Culture * Media * Tech * Innovate * Gadget * Foreseeable Future * Mission: Ahead * Upstarts * Work Transformed * Innovative Cities * Style * Arts * Design * Fashion * Architecture * Luxury * Beauty * Video * Travel * Destinations * Food & Drink * Stay * News * Videos * Sports * Pro Football * College Football * Basketball * Baseball * Soccer * Olympics * Hockey * Videos * Live TV * Digital Studios * CNN Films * HLN * TV Schedule * TV Shows A-Z * CNNVR * Audio * CNN Underscored * Electronics * Fashion * Beauty * Health & Fitness * Home * Reviews * Deals * Money * Gifts * Travel * Outdoors * Pets * CNN Store * Coupons * Weather * Climate * Storm Tracker * Wildfire Tracker * Video * More * Photos * Longform * Investigations * CNN Profiles * CNN Leadership * CNN Newsletters * Work for CNN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Audio Live TV Follow CNN Business * * * * Log In My Account * Settings * Log Out Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most stock quote data provided by BATS.
