I’m in Albuquerque. 3/4 of all supermarkets are either Albertson’s or Smith’s (Kroger). It will be a massive hit to local grocery competition. Prices will absolutely go up.
Maybe. It would be nice.
But with one national company having that much market share, they could easily cut prices below cost for 6 months, forcing the locals to close.
If Keller’s and La Montañita didn’t shut down during COVID I don’t think competitors are going to be able to shut them down, but that’s just my hot take.

All our local grocery stores would get more traffic though wouldn’t they?
You guys still have local grocery stores?
Yeah, we still have local fastfood too. Lugana burger is fucking dope
