By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Happy Friday, Acadiana. Let's get down to business before you head out for the weekend. The grocery sector in Lafayette has been in the headlines this year with Aldi entering the market in a big way and Rouses Market expanding its presence here. But on Thursday reports surfaced that Albertsons, which has three stores in Lafayette and another in Broussard, is in negotiations to merge with grocery giant Kroger. An announcement could be in the near future, according to the Wall Street Journal. You can read the story here. Have a day and see you back here Monday morning. |
