  • Consolidation in Food Retailing: Prospects for Consumers & Grocery Suppliers
    18 Economic Research Service/USDA Agricultural Outlook/August 2000 Special Article Consolidation in Food Retailing: Prospects for Consumers & Grocery Suppliers n recent years, the U.S. food retailing industry has undergone unprecedented consolidation and structural change through Imergers, acquisitions, divestitures, internal growth, and new competitors. Since 1996, almost 3,500 supermarkets have been purchased, representing annual grocery store sales of more than $67 billion (including food and non-food sales by supermarkets, superettes, and convenience stores). Two of the largest food retailing combinations in history were announced in 1998: the merger of Albertson’s (the nation’s fourth-largest food retailer) with American Stores (the second-largest), and the acquisition of sixth-largest Fred Meyer by first-ranked Kroger Company. The recent consolidation wave has brought together food retail- ers operating within and across regions. While many food retail- ers operate in multiple regions, none is considered truly nation- wide in scope. Of the consolidations, the Albertson’s-American Stores merger, which resulted in common ownership of super- markets reaching coast to coast (but not all regions), comes clos- est to creating a nationwide food retailer.
