Several lawsuits are currently in the works. At hearings in Colorado and Washington State, lawyers argued the merger would decrease competition and raise prices for consumers. It has been a sticking point for state attorney generals as well as the Federal Trade Commission.
Lawyers for the chains argued Wal-Mart is the real threat, saying they have a significant price lead in the market. No decisions were made this week, and both judges have set deadlines for later next month.
