In addition to California, stores are listed for sale in Washington (124 stores), Arizona (101 stores), and Colorado (91 stores). The complete list of stores owned by both Albertsons and Kroger, including under Safeway and QFC branding, covers 18 states in total1.

Kroger is selling 63 supermarkets in California as part of its planned merger with Albertsons2. The sale is an attempt to address regulators' concerns about the megamerger, which has faced opposition from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over competition and pricing issues. The sale would only occur if federal regulators approve Kroger's bid to buy Albertsons.
