In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order--in connection with Schnuck Markets' proposed acquisition of supermarkets currently owned by National Holdings, Inc.--requires, among other things, the Missouri-based corporation to divest 24 stores in the St. Louis area to Commission-approved purchasers, and requires the respondent, for ten years, to obtain Commission approval before acquiring an interest in a supermarket, or another entity that operates a supermarket, in the relevant area.
