Can’t vouch for this but heard that Krogers is planning on closing Ralphs and re-opening under Krogers name with all new non union employees. Count me in as a loyal shopper if that happens.

Could be... this is "breaking news" -

SAN DIEGO -- Officials with the Ralphs supermarket chain will shut down all of its Southern California stores if grocery store workers go on strike, according to information obtained by 10News' media partner the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The U-T reported that all Ralphs stores, including 25 locations in San Diego County, will close in the event of a worker strike. The Ralphs stores in the county employ about 1,800 union workers, the U-T reported.

Ralphs spokeswoman Kendra Doyel released the following statement to 10News: "If there is a strike, Ralphs will initially close all of our stores. During a strike, it is difficult to create a good shopping experience for our Customers and a good working environment for our Employees. We will evaluate the situation as it progresses."

According to the U-T report, if a strike proceeds, Ralphs would pack up food and close down stores.
