As grocery prices put a strain on Colorado families' budgets, a group of more than 100 different organizations are speaking out about the proposed merger.
"We're just hearing over and over right now, from parents across the country, just how hard it is to get food on the table," said Allison Johnson, Campaign Director for ParentsTogether Action.
"We've seen mergers in the past drive out competition, which then increases prices and also can create food deserts, giving people fewer options for where they can shop. It also puts jobs at risk and lower the wage for the workers at the grocery stores themselves," said Johnson.Colorado's AG Phil Weiser is investigating the merger and is traveling across the state, listening to consumer concerns, most recently stopping in Denver.
