Kroger and Albertsons are preparing for a legal showdown as they aim to merge, a move met with skepticism by the U.S. government. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) argues the merger would harm competition and drive up prices, while the companies claim it will help them better compete with giants like Walmart. The federal court in Oregon will review the case to determine whether to grant an injunction that could delay the merger.
