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

I have found Safeway prices higher than Fred's.

Mergers always seem to mean higher prices, so I am against them in general.

Concern that a merger will likely increase prices, but in this current economy, there are so many factors in play.

not a good idea ..Kroger has horrible selection and seems like they've been phasing out a lot of name brands...

Kroger has always been cheaper than Albertsons so I see a drop in prices in the future.

We usually do a Costco run about once a month.

Will be sad when it moves. Why can't we have anything good on the east side of Bend. It is so convenient for me right now. Hopefully the new corridor is there before it opens.

Once or twice a month, but that will drop if it relocates to north Bend...now it's just blocks away!

Because I don't live closer to it anymore but if it moves north of Bend I will definitely renew my card and shop Costco more.

Household is 2 senior citizens. We would never use giant size anything. Membership is not cost effective for us and Costco is 20 miles away. Also, hate the crowds & parking.

I dropped my Costco membership in 2020. Until then I had been a member since they opened in 1994. I thought I would miss the membership but honestly since Winco came in I do not miss it a bit.

Yes, There's Room For Both!........There's room for all. Food trucks set better quality food standards that all should pay attention too. We will all reap the rewards.

food carts??? you mean roach coach's. While I prefer to visit a restaurant where I can sit down and eat. I will also hit a roach coach if that is all there is.
