Shake-up of the Grocery Industry:

Two months ago, Kroger announced the purchase of Albertsons for a total of $26.4 billion dollars, in which such marriage or merger, if approved by the government, will definitely have impacts in the entire grocery industry.

I want you to (1) provide the summary of the merger; (2) the impacts of such merger if approved by the government; and (3) your personal assessments of such merger.
