In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order requires, among other things, the respondents to divest 17 supermarkets, within nine months, to Commission-approved acquirers. If the respondents fail to satisfy any of the divestiture provisions, the Commission may appoint a trustee to divest the supermarkets.
