This week Albertsons filed a $9 billion lawsuit against Kroger accusing it of messing up the deal. C’mon Albertsons, this is coming up two years from the day the deal was nixed and you’re just now getting around to filing a lawsuit? What does this say about your sense of urgency, perhaps reflecting the culture of your entire company? Again, I don’t know who’s right and who is wrong, but it seems to me that when a company says it’s been done wrong with something this big, it’s got to move faster to try to seek justice.

If the name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe you’ll recognize its former name: Bed Bath & Beyond. Not the fabled Big Box category killer that fell on hard times and eventually melted down. This is the resurrected entity that has changed its name, corporate strategy, place of business and personnel more times over a shorter period than just about anybody else in the retail space.
