Glonghui, April 23 | US supermarket group Kroger agreed to sell 166 additional branches to C&S if approved to acquire the Albertsons, hoping to help US regulators approve the Albertsons acquisition proposal. According to the two companies' announcement on Monday, they agreed to sell a total of 579 branches to C&S, involving an amount of 2.9 billion US dollars. Kroger's previously sold assets involved 413 branches at a price of $2.9 billion. After Kroger and Albertsons announced the merger plan in 2022, US regulators worried that market competition would be affected and had reservations about the deal. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and eight state governments sued in February this year to block related transactions.
