I've moved the discussion of multiple stores of the same chain very close to each other (but not necessarily in the same center) into a separate topic, since that's a radically different issue than the one in the current topic:

For clarification, American Stores was required to divest most Alpha Beta stores in 1990, all of them Southern California locations, as a result of its 1988 acquisition of Lucky Stores. Burkle's entity bought the majority of these stores, but some were sold to other operators, and American was allow...
