Schwegmann Giant Super Markets, Inc.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

This order reopens a 1995 consent order--that required the Louisiana-based corporation to divest several supermarkets in the New Orleans area--and this order modifies the consent order by replacing a provision requiring Schwegmann to obtain prior Commission approval for certain transactions, with a prior notice provision for any acquisition of retail supermarkets in the New Orleans area that Schwegmann makes through June 6, 2005. The Commission determined that the changed provisions are warranted and consistent with the Statement of FTC Policy Concerning Prior Approval and Prior Notice Provisions and therefore justified reopening the proceeding and modifying the order.
