Alaskans can’t afford for these megacorporations to play Monopoly with our food security.
The Carrs location at 4000 West Dimond Boulevard in Anchorage is one of the locations included in the planned divestiture as part of the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons.
We are concerned for all Alaskan consumers and for Alaska’s food security. Given our combined decades-long experience fighting special, moneyed interests on behalf of Alaskans, we are alarmed about the proposed Kroger-Albertsons merger.in the U.S. District Court to determine if the Federal Trade Commission’s attempt to block the Kroger-Albertsons merger will be granted.
This time around, when almost three times as many stores are at risk of being spun off, it is imperative that AG Taylor not ignore the lessons learned from the Carrs-Safeway merger. AKPIRG advocated for the creation of a citizens advisory committee as part of the settlement in 1999. But a non-binding committee cannot solve supply chain woes. We need an entity with real legal power, like the Alaska attorney general, to step in.
We shouldn’t make these mistakes again. These issues are being decided at a national level. How does sitting back and monitoring developments do anything to make sure that Alaska has a role in fashioning the outcome?
