I like Kroger, but losing Heinen's would be a horrid tragedy. Marc's is a wild card. They are privately owned by one man, Marc Glassman, who has a not-very-nice reputation and he's got to be getting up there in age. Unlike Heinen's, they have high turnover and I can't imagine employees are super-loyal to the place or anything like that. They also have a lot of stores. But they are in a different segment of the market altogether from Kroger and Heinen's and Giant Eagle and Acme. When I was a kid we barely considered it a grocery store, more like a Big Lots or a Discount Drug Mart. They sold a lot of closeouts. (I grew up near the original store which was called Bernie Shulman's before Marc bought the chain from Bernie, and it was definitely not a grocery store in those days) They used to not even have meat. But they did spend money growing their meat and produce departments the past 10 or so years. That's my read on Marc's, too, but a lot of their stores are actually in good locations. The one in Fairlawn, for example, is right by a Giant Eagle. You won't generally find them right by a Save-a-Lot, for example, or at least that's my impression. They're not in locations that Kroger would be completely uninterested in. So the question if we're doing the what-ifs with Kroger acquiring Marc's is really what Kroger would be willing to spend to upgrade those stores after the acquisition, and whether Glassman would be willing to sell at a price that would leave room in Kroger's budget to do that. Secondarily, it would be whether the Marc's stores have space to do so and/or the options to lease more space at their locations to grow, if Kroger decides that upgrading to full-service locations would need more space than most Marc's locations have. I haven't been to too many, but the one in Fairlawn is smaller than the Giant Eagle it's in the same shopping center with. The one on Waterloo Road in south Akron, though, seems like it would have plenty of space to build out more if needed. The only other one I've been to once was in the Parma area, years ago, and I don't remember it much at all.

October 20, 20222 yr Kroger unveils store of future in Greater Cincinnati: PHOTOS By Steve Watkins – Staff reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier Oct 20, 2022 Kroger Co. unveiled its "store of the future" Thursday, testing the concept in Greater Cincinnati. Downtown-based Kroger (NYSE: KR) launched the new store concept first at its Monroe store just off Ohio 63 on Heritage Green Drive about a week ago but made it official with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday morning. The changes involve the way customers check out. The new concept gives customers a variety of options that include a group of Kroger’s new high-tech modes of checkout as well as the traditional low-tech methods. “We think it’s going to be game-changing,” Kroger spokeswoman Erin Rolfes told me. “What customers are going to see that’s very different from other stores is that front end where they check out.” MORE
October 21, 20222 yr PLUM CHOICE If a proposed acquisition of Albertsons goes through, Kroger 2.0 would control 16% of market share and serve 85 million households. But the feds may not buy in. Here’s what it means for shoppers as well as the city. On Oct. 14, Kroger announced plans to purchase rival grocer Albertsons, potentially upping its revenue to $200 billion and employing over 700,000. But some insiders aren’t convinced the deal will pass muster with regulators. By Steve Watkins – Staff reporter, Cincinnati Business Courier Oct 21, 2022 Kroger’s ever-subdued Rodney McMullen calls the Cincinnati grocer’s $25 billion plan to buy rival Albertsons a “major milestone,” but that still might be one of the biggest understatements the CEO has made in his nine years at the helm. It’s so much more. Having spent the past four years scaling its digital prowess and home delivery system to better compete with Amazon, Walmart and others, Kroger is back on familiar ground. If the agreement to merge with Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons goes through, Kroger will become the first true national grocer. The acquisition, announced Oct. 14, is expected to close in early 2024. It combines the country’s two largest operators of traditional supermarkets and would make Kroger a behemoth that would likely top $200 billion in annual revenue, placing it among the nation’s largest companies. It would serve 85 million households and employ more than 700,000 people. MORE

Kind of like the Wal Mart effect, all the big consumer product companies have large outposts in Fayetteville Ark to be close to Wal-Mart's HQ. I am sure they already have outposts in cincinnati for the same reasons but they will likely need to expand and could create other opportunities to get more people here with those companies.

If completed, the deal will succeed in “further empowering Kroger and Albertsons to take on giants like Walmart and Amazon,” the report by location analytics and data provider Placer.ai said. “By combining their strengths and lowering costs, the deal would help each of the companies maximize their competitive advantages while offering them even greater reach.” Downtown Cincinnati-based Kroger (NYSE: KR) would acquire Albertsons’ 2,273 stores, adding to Kroger’s 2,723 stores in a deal announced Oct. 14. The transaction would result in a merger of the nation’s two largest traditional supermarkets. MORE

September 7, 20231 yr Kroger, Albertsons near deal to divest stores necessary for merger approval, Bloomberg reports Kroger Co. and Albertsons Companies Inc. are close to a deal to divest stores in a transaction aimed at getting antitrust approval for the companies’ $24.6 merger, according to Bloomberg News. The companies, which are the nation’s two largest operators of traditional supermarkets, are in talks with Keene, N.H.-based C&S Wholesale Grocers, Bloomberg reports. C&S has financial backing from Japanese investment firm Softbank Group Corp. to buy the stores. A deal could be completed this week, according to Bloomberg, which cited unidentified people familiar with the matter. The exact number of stores to be sold wasn’t disclosed. Officials from Kroger and C&S weren't immediately available for comment.

September 8, 20231 yr Kroger agrees to $1.4 billion opioid settlement; reveals deal to sell 413 stores related to Albertsons megamerger Kroger Co. released its second quarter earnings results Friday, Sept. 8, topping Wall Street's expectations. However, the hallmark of the results was the news that Kroger has reached a $1.4 billion opioid-related settlement and finalized a deal to sell more than 400 stores in connection to its megamerger with Albertsons Cos. According to a news release, Kroger (NYSE: KR) has agreed in principle to pay up to $1.2 billion to states and subdivisions, alongside $36 million to Native American tribes, to settle any opioid claims against the Cincinnati giant. The payout will be spread over 11 years and are slated to begin in December 2023. Kroger has faced several opioid-related legal battles in recent years, with the bulk of those cases stemming from whether the company's pharmacies put enough controls in place to limit the oversupply of the highly addictive medications. Most recently, the company spent $68 million to settle such as case in West Virginia. ... Here are some highlights of the agreement: As part of the deal, Kroger will no longer use the QFC (located in the Pacific Northwest), Mariano's (located in the Chicago area) or Carrs (an Albertsons' subsidiary based in Alaska) brand names. Stores the company will retain that carry those names will be rebranded to Kroger. In Arizona, California, Wyoming and Colorado, C&S will take on the Albertson's name. For Albertson's locations Kroger is keeping in those states, the stores will be renamed Kroger. Some of the private label brands Kroger will no longer use include: Debi Lilly Design, Primo Taglio, Open Nature, ReadyMeals and Waterfront Bistro. The deal could be expand to include as many as 237 additional stores if regulators require Kroger to sell off a greater number of locations in order to get the greenlight for its Albertsons deal.

Tonight I snuck in there, thinking it would be low-key on a Sunday night. Wrong. I was hit up for money twice during my ten minutes inside the store. First, a guy pretending to be handicapped hit me up for money while riding a scooter around near the apples and bananas. Five minutes later, a guy tapped me on the shoulder while I was pulling a carton of eggs out of the cooler. I immediately checked my pocket to make sure he hadn't stolen my wallet. Up by the cash registers, the lone mall cop was watching videos on his phone. Out in the parking lot, some guy on an electric bicycle was casing cars.

Have not been to the new Corryville Kroger, but pretty much what did they expect. Especially, once they closed down the Walnut Hills Kroger, the riff-raff was going to naturally go to Corryville. The downtown one is similar. It is still small and does not carry as wide of a variety as the other Krogers do. The big complaint of the old OTR one was the lack of items it carried. While the new one is better, it is still not the same variety as Newport or Hyde Park.

The OTR store was very small and very very old. Of course the downtown location is never going to have the selection of a Newport or Hype Park (stores 5x plus larger that sit in shopping centers) you’re also never going to build a store that big in a central business district. Downtown stores in general are about providing the basics along with a bit of high end items and lots of grab and go, Cincinnati has a 2nd floor food court too which is a very nice touch. I would like to remind folks there are a lot of cities bigger and smaller that can only dream of having a modern 2 floor full service grocery store in its business district, and Cincinnati wouldn’t have one either if Kroger HQ wasn’t here.

The one thing is that sometimes the hours are inconsistent. Kroger owns 2 of them I believe so they at least make sure that there is adequate service there. THere is a bar on the second floor which is nice and caters to the after work/FC crowd and I assume people who live in the apartments. It appears to do a decent lunch business during the week with everything going on at the Courthouse. I think it could do better but I think there needs to be more residents, especially in the Court Street corridor and just South of Court Street. The thing I like best about it is that it is a place where you can take kids that is not high end or fast food and they have space to run around.

December 1, 20231 yr Kroger sets wheels in motion for FTC antitrust approval process with Albertsons deal notification Kroger Co. has thrown the ball into federal regulators’ court by telling them it has met requirements to abide by antitrust laws in its planned $24.6 billion acquisition of Albertsons Cos. Inc. The move means the Federal Trade Commission should make a decision on the transaction by the middle of December. Downtown Cincinnati-based Kroger (NYSE: KR), the nation’s largest operator of traditional supermarkets, has told the Federal Trade Commission it has “certified substantial compliance with the second request issued by the FTC,” CEO Rodney McMullen said Thursday, Nov. 30, during a conference call to discuss third-quarter earnings. That essentially means Kroger and Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons (NYSE: ACI), the nation’s second-largest operator of traditional supermarkets, believe they have met the FTC’s requirements regarding antitrust laws involving the transaction. The second request references the FTC's responses to Kroger and Albertsons after their initial plans to complete the transaction were filed.
