The merger did not go through as arbitrated by the federal judge in wa state. *claps hands* you stood up for the little people that make the store run instead of the corrupt ceo's that are only in it for the profit. Thank you.

Many workers would be displaced, prices on groceries would go up, the new company that liquidated the stores on the list would be tanked into the ground... There would be too much of a monopoly in the area and the buyer does not understand the sophisticated higher needs of the clientele in the pnw.
