Federal antitrust enforcers are in the midst of determining what, exactly, constitutes a grocery store as they work towards a decision regarding the looming $24.6 billion Kroger, Albertsons merger. Walmart and Target historically haven’t been classified as supermarkets; dollar stores are too limited in what they sell to be considered true grocery competitors.
Is that fair? Kroger sure doesn’t think so, calling the FTC “willfully blind” of how the landscape has changed. What do you think?
