NEW YORK, March 19 (Reuters) - Grocery business Albertsons Cos. held preliminary talks to merge with Sprouts Farmers Market Inc., Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the situation.
Bloomberg said that the early-stage discussions took place in recent weeks and have involved a plan to take Sprouts private. Doing so would add the natural and organic foods-focused business to the Albertsons suite of supermarket brands, which includes Safeway, Vons and Shaw's.
Albertsons is backed by private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management. Representatives for Albertsons and Sprouts did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while a spokeswoman for Cerberus declined to comment.
"Then there was a woman, a lion of a woman."
