The vast majority of you believe this deal could trigger more industry consolidation. Here's what else you had to say:

Kenneth Doepp, Grocery Leadership at Lowes Foods
This will probably go thru they’ll have sell off to other competitors. It reminds me of the ahold/delhaize merger. Don’t know the behind scenes of either M&A just thought I share what I think could happen

Eric Johnson, Customer Development Manager
Agreed! Hard to see how they will not have to divest a significant number of stores in their top markets.
