Since the first day of trial in Colorado, lawyers for Kroger and Albertsons have repeatedly brought up the name of a grocery executive they believe has the adequate experience to run more than 500 divested stores: Susan Morris.
Morris, the current chief operating officer at Albertsons, will be a key figure for the future of 579 Albertsons stores across the nation — 91 of which are in Colorado — if the merger goes through.
If the $24.6 billion merger between Kroger and Albertsons is allowed by courts in Colorado, Washington and in Oregon, Morris will move over to C&S Wholesale Grocers to be the company’s “CEO of Retail,” a new role created to manage the divested stores.
