On September 11, the FTC announced that it was requiring US Foods (a food distributor) to divest three distribution centers in order for it to proceed with its acquisition of Services Group of America. According to the FTC's press release, "the proposed acquisition would likely harm competition for broadline foodservice distribution for customers in four local markets and for national and multi-regional customers throughout the country." The FTC said that "Services Group of America, Inc., through its foodservice division, Food Services of America, or FSA, belongs to a consortium of regional distributors known as Distribution Market Advantage, or DMA. DMA competes with US Foods to serve multi-regional and national accounts.. .. [I]f DMA were to lose FSA's distribution centers in Washington, Idaho, and North Dakota from its network, it would become a significantly less attractive option for this set of customers." The FTC therefore required US Foods to divest certain distribution centers in these states.
