Kroger and Albertsons have about 35,000 private-label store brands, he estimated, “and store brands have increased quality over the past probably 10 years.” But consumer advocates took the FTC’s side. “Concentration in grocery retail has already caused food prices to skyrocket,” said Stacy Mitchell, co-executive director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a nonprofit advocacy group for independent businesses. “This merger would have undoubtedly led to even more consolidation among processors and the closure of independent grocery stores, furthering the proliferation of food deserts in underserved rural and Black and brown communities across the country.” Workers’ wages Some labor advocates cheered the FTC’s push to block the merger as a potential victory for workers, who the agency estimated would number almost 700,000 in a combined company.
