反垄断专家认为,这将是美国反垄断史上最具影响力的案件之一。合并双方将投入大量资源应对诉讼。案件最终结果将决定美国未来十年超市业的市场格局。

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit on February 26th seeking to block the merger of Kroger and Albertsons, the two largest supermarket chains in American history in terms of deal value. The two companies combined would own nearly 5,000 stores. The FTC argues that allowing the merger would substantially lessen competition and harm consumers.
Antitrust experts believe this will be one of the most consequential antitrust cases in U.S. history. Both sides will devote tremendous resources fighting the lawsuit. The ultimate outcome will determine the supermarket industry landscape in America for the next decade.
