Kroger to sell 6 DC-area Harris Teeter stores in Albertsons merger

Kroger and Albertsons have released a final list of the hundreds of grocery stores they plan to divest as part of their $24.6 billion merger, despite the legal challenges and union opposition they face.
The stores proposed for sale include six Harris Teeter locations in the D.C. area in Germantown and Olney in Maryland; Alexandria, Arlington and Purcellville in Virginia; and in D.C.s Navy Yard. Kroger owns Harris Teeter and Albertsons owns Safeway, but no Safeway stores in the D.C. region were on the divestiture list, which includes almost 580 stores in 19 states.

Fewer and fewer producers/sellers of everything. Private equity or behaving like it

Unless they will stay Harris Teeter branded.
