Quick Glance: What does the Kroger-Albertsons merger imply for customers?

Southern California has also played an important role in the history of the chains: Ralphs, Kroger's largest subsidiary, and Vons, owned by Albertsons, were both founded as mom-and-pop grocery stores in Los Angeles by English and Danish immigrants and their families.

Kroger would also assume $4.7 billion in debt from Albertsons.

To overcome anticipated political and regulatory obstacles, Kroger and Albertsons announced the closure of locations in markets where they compete.

With 66 distribution facilities and 52 production plants, Kroger claims the combined stores will provide more and faster access to fresh goods.
