 Two Washington County grocery stores could be sold as part of a potential merger between Kroger and Albertsons. An Albertsons store in St. George and another in Washington City are on the list of locations Kroger may sell off if the deal is approved. It's part of the company's plan to avoid antitrust issues as it tries to finalize a multi-billion dollar merger with Albertsons. Kroger would continue to have a presence in southern Utah through its Smiths brand stores.
