LOL,buy the competition and them get rid of them.
Just like I though when I heard Petco was buying,i'm surprised it took them this long.

Actually, if the price of raw materials and the cost of shipping those ingredients to me goes any higher, I'll go under on my own.

Yup. Amazon gets a deal on shipping and uses postal employees and vehicles to deliver on Sunday. I pay the going rate.

That will be the next merger.
Rather then fight over customers they will get all of them anyway, and one  won't  have to try to undersell the other,higher profits
