Back when Sprouts was Boneys And then it was renamed Henry’s, it was an amazing store. Even after they change the name AGAIN to Sprouts, it was still a good store until KROGER KROGER bought it. Then grocery PRICES At SPROUTS almost doubled. Because KROGER has become a MONOPOLIZER of the Grocery business. KROGER grocery corporation now, Owns SPROUTS, ALBERTSONS, VONS, SAFEWAY, LUCKY foods, FOOD BASKET, FOOD for LESS, FRY’S, DILLON’S, CITY MARKET, FRED MEYERS. What does this mean when A company like KROGER owns this many grocery stores? They HAVE a MONOPOLY! if you’re not sure what It means to have a monopoly, when a company like KROGER owns ALL of these stores the CUSTOMERS will pay MUCH MUCH more money, because there are no other competing stores to buy Groceries which helps keep the prices lower To CUSTOMERS due to COMPETITION of other grocery stores. If there are no other competing grocery stores, guess what, KROGER can set the prices and what are you gonna do about it? As a customer you do NOT have a choice to go to other Grocery stores, because KROGER OWNS and controls CONTROLS ALL of them!!!!!
