The Proposed Transaction: On February 21, 2007, Whole Foods and Wild Oats entered into a merger plan under which the former would acquire 100 percent of the voting shares of the latter, with WFMI Merger Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Whole Foods, merging with and into Wild Oats.
Thanks to the $9.4 billion merger of Albertsonâs and Safeway, a sizable new grocery chain will soon spread across several Western states, one that will compete with the likes of Whole Foods WFM and Trader Joeâs.ts employee headcount will rise from 2,000 to 10,000. The chain of course is dwarfed by giants like Kroger and Albertsonâs. Kroger, with a nearly 10% share of the grocery market, operates more than 2,600 stores, and the combined Albertsonâs and Safeway will operate about 2,400.
