  • The future of this Vons on 80th Street is in question because of a proposed merger between Kroger and Albertsons. Tom Wait reports.

    Vons and Albertsons are too expensive for me and Ralphs is up there too… Stater Bros guy here.

      If the proposed store divestitures were to strong regional operators like Stater brothers, this would be fine. But it seems to be set up to fail. Just like Haggen a few years ago.

    This is just the final step in Ralphs decades-long series of acquisitions of all competition in Southern California. If you shop there, you are complicit in this.

      Costco doesn't much compete with local grocery. it's more about Walmart and Target.

    the Vons in Pacific Palisades are considered as a neighborhood magnet over there
    hopefully for this merger does not impact that same store

    • @BC-rc2dq

      The Von's in the Palisades is also on the divestiture list. The buyers have a history of monetizing real estate acquired, and little experience with operating retail stores. If the Palisades real estate is owned, clearly there would be more profit in tearing it down and selling it for high density residential.

    Who cares. Walmart is worse. Also loosen regulations so they can keep the stores. If not then provide assistance for communities to keep them open. There are way bigger companies like Target. Just seems we don't want them to have competition.

      Except when you have a Smiths, an Albertsons, and a WallyWorld in a small town..they've already announced the closing of Albertsons. Where's the competition? If you live with many options it's no big deal, but it's awful when you don't. Who should I support now...the huge conglomerate that bought Albertsons or the huge conglomerate that didn't?
