    July 1, 2026, 9:38 AM EDT. Kroger (NYSE:KR) is buying Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, putting a 0.18x sales multiple on the $9 billion grocer. The deal covers 197 supermarkets and 11 pharmacy locations, working out to about $7.9 million per store. Kroger will pay $1.25 billion cash and take on $400 million in debt. This is a regional move after its planned Albertsons acquisition was stopped. Kroger shares slipped 38 cents to $55.53 before the deal was confirmed. The deal is around 4.8% of Kroger's $34.15 billion market cap and should add to adjusted EPS by the second full year. Kroger plans to keep its dividend and $2 billion buyback while managing net debt.
