    Federal Court Rejects Ftc Request to Block Whole Foods — Wild Oats Supermarket Merger

    CLIENT MEMORANDUM FEDERAL COURT REJECTS FTC REQUEST TO BLOCK WHOLE FOODS — WILD OATS SUPERMARKET MERGER On August 16, 2007, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia denied the request of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) for a preliminary injunction to block the acquisition of Wild Oats Markets, Inc. by Whole Foods Market, Inc. Judge Paul Friedman’s detailed, 93-page opinion rejected the FTC’s fundamental argument against the merger: That it would lead to a virtual monopoly in a market for “premium natural and organic supermarkets” (“PNOS”) across the United States. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied the FTC’s motion for an injunction staying the transaction pending the FTC’s appeal, and the parties consummated the merger on August 27, 2007. Whole Foods is the largest operator of PNOS in the United States, having 194 stores. Wild Oats was the second largest PNOS operator in the United States, with 115 stores that were generally smaller in size and higher in price than Whole Foods stores. Both firms concentrated on selling natural and organic food items and emphasizing customer service, but both also carried a variety of non-natural foods items. As is often true in merger analysis, the pivotal question was how to define the relevant market affected by the merger. As Judge Friedman summarized the issue: In this case, if the relevant product market is, as the FTC alleges, a product market of ‘premium natural and organic supermarkets’ consisting only of the two defendants and two other non-national firms, there can be little doubt that the acquisition of the second largest firm in the market by the largest firm in the market will tend to harm competition in that market.
