Why Are Colorado Grocery Stores Being Sold?

Kroger and Albertsons are in talks for a merger, and they need to offload some stores to make the deal go through. They're in negotiations with C&S Grocers to take the stores off their hands.

Initially, there were 413 stores across the country that would be sold. Now, that number is 579. 91 of those stores are in Colorado which include most of the Safeway and Albertsons stores across the state.
