But you are correct. My state is suing to prevent that since that would make them a huge percentage of the market and create many areas with no competition.
How they have gotten around it before is to promise they will keep prices down and then show how things will be much cheaper for them so they can do it. Unsurprisingly they all fail on their promises shortly after but they have already merged by that point and have little fear of being broken up.

But didn’t you hear? Less competition makes prices go down. The head of Kroger said so!!!
