Why the FTC wants to stop the Kroger-Albertsons merger

Season 2024 Episode 260 | 6m 08s

What could be the largest grocery store merger in U.S. history is at a do-or-die point, with closing arguments this week in a lawsuit filed by the FTC to stop Kroger’s nearly $25 billion purchase of Albertsons. The companies say the merger would lower prices, but regulators argue it would eliminate competition. Washington Post retail reporter Jaclyn Peiser joins Lisa Desjardins to discuss.
