 Kroger, which owns QFC, and Albertsons, which owns Safeway, just released a list of stores that companies would plan to divest to sand as wholesale grocers if their proposed merger goes through. It would definitely be inconvenient if I didn't have a grocery store here. We asked Kroger about the impact to neighborhoods and workers. A spokesperson writes, no frontline workers will lose their jobs and no stores will close as a result of the merger, which is also true for stores that remain with Kroger. Are you skeptical of those claims?
