It’s tricky, yes. I don’t like how big those companies have gotten either, but Kroger claiming that one brand is needed to fight those big boys doesn’t make any sense to me. There’s no way the corner grocery store is going to go away / *everyone *will start buying *all *of their groceries at Walmarts or Costcos. As long as that’s the case, we deserve to have a choice in which grocery store we visit and not just which Kroger store will we go to today.

I don’t think I was clear, because I agree 100% with you. I think Kroger should be broken up, along with the ones mentioned.
