November 28, 2022

The deal, which would combine the two largest operators of supermarket chains in the U.S., is currently undergoing review by the Federal Trade Commission. The two companies, which operate about 5,000 stores combined, would still trail Walmart as the largest grocer in America should the deal be approved by regulators.
