Kroger-Albertsons May Sell Mariano’s Name to Piggly Wiggly’s Owners | Eater Chicago
"A long-established grocery chain dating back to 1899, this grocer is among the locations implicated in the proposed Kroger–Albertsons merger and the resulting divestiture plan. Four of its stores were included in the 579-store sale to C&S Wholesale Grocers as regulators pressed for remedies to antitrust concerns; one of those is a South Side location at 87 W. 87th Street. C&S has pledged to keep the stores open and honor union agreements for the listed locations so frontline workers would retain their jobs, but it remains unclear how the listed Chicago store will be renamed if the deal is approved amid ongoing regulatory and labor opposition." - Ashok Selvam
