Colorado’s trial against Kroger-Albertsons merger opens in Denver court

A Colorado Attorney General’s office lawyer argued on Monday that a potential merger between Kroger and Albertsons could cost Colorado consumers up to $500 million annually due to decreased competition. Arthur Biller stated that the two companies collectively hold at least 50% of the supermarket sales in Colorado and are fierce competitors in terms of pricing and services.

However, Kroger’s attorney, Matt Wolf, countered this argument by highlighting Walmart, Costco, Amazon, and other national retailers as the true competitors for the grocery chains. Wolf criticized the state’s stance on the merger violating antitrust laws, emphasizing that modern grocery industry dynamics differ from the state’s perspective.

The trial, taking place in Denver District Court, is one of three seeking to prevent the $24.6 billion merger between Kroger and Albertsons. The attorneys general of several states, along with the Federal Trade Commission, are involved in legal action to block the consolidation.

While Kroger and Albertsons claim that the merger would lead to lower grocery prices and job security, the attorney general’s office and unions representing supermarket employees remain skeptical based on past industry mergers.

Union members and supporters rallied against the merger on the steps of the Denver City and County Building, expressing concerns about potential store closures and job losses. The trial is anticipated to last for up to three weeks.
