GREAT NECK, N.Y. (PRWEB) October 20, 2022 - F&D Reports / Creditntell have released an in-depth analysis of the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons. The report provides a deep dive into the deal, utilizing proprietary store-level data from the Real Estate Intelligence data set, to assess its viability, supported by an examination of the companies respective metro-area market share concentration and store overlap metrics.

Kroger and Albertsons have proposed one of the largest mergers in retail history; one that would dramatically reshape the supermarket landscape and result in a corporate behemoth with nearly $220 billion in annual sales and about 5,000 U.S. stores. While a merger would provide increased scale to better compete against Walmart, Amazon, Costco, Aldi and others, the two grocers operate in many of the same geographies. According to Creditntells store overlap analysis, about 57% of Albertsons base is located within five miles of a Kroger store. In addition to tackling the regulatory process and required divestitures, Kroger would need to devote significant time and human capital to integrate the businesses.

Commenting on the Kroger-Albertsons Special Analysis, President of Real Estate Services Josh Suffin stated, Retail industry consolidation continues, and particularly as food inflation hits its highest level in decades, grocery retailers are seeking cost savings and benefits of scale. This analysis of the Kroger-Albertsons deal leverages the financial analysis of our in-house industry experts and applies our geospatial intelligence scoring, predictive measuring tools, and store locational data to offer a 360-degree assessment.
