This will lead to higher prices at the grocery stores since there won't be as much competition. Kroger will have an monopoly on the grocery market. Should not be allowed.
I don't like Fred myer, to big and for its size not much of a selection. I like Safeway the best because of variety. We don't need another big chain. If this merger is allowed all we have left is 2 big chain stores and prices will probably go up when they shutdown the smaller Safeway and Albertson
Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.
Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space
A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.
NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

ReplyMergers always seem to mean higher prices, so I am against them in general.
ReplyConcern that a merger will likely increase prices, but in this current economy, there are so many factors in play.
Replynot a good idea ..Kroger has horrible selection and seems like they've been phasing out a lot of name brands...
ReplyKroger has always been cheaper than Albertsons so I see a drop in prices in the future.
