Fry’s Food Stores and Safeway/Albertson are attempting to merge. If
permitted to do so, they will create a juggernaut that will decrease competition
and will lead to higher grocery prices. You will have a chance to have your
voice heard at a listening session co-hosted by Former Arizona Corporation
Commissioner Sandra Kennedy, Founding Pastor of Fountain of Life Church
Rev. Dr. Cathy Clardy Patterson and Attorney General Kris Mayes. A
Listening session will be held at First Institutional Baptist Church, August 1,
2023, at 6:00 p.m.

It is important the views of the African American Community are expressed.
This merger will especially affect those who are already food insecure and
those on fixed incomes. In addition, it will lead to the loss of jobs and the
elimination of a larger number of neighborhood stores. Collectively, this will
have a devasting impact on our community.

This listening session is a forum where you can both be heard and express
your views directly to the Attorney General Kris Mayes.
