It has been more than a year since Sysco, the big food distributor,agreed to buy its closest rival, US Foods, for $3.5 billion. Now, Sysco finally believes it has come up with a way to get the deal past antitrust regulators.
Sysco said on Monday that it had agreed to divest 11 distribution centers in a bid to obtain the blessing of regulators including the Federal Trade Commission. Sysco will sell the centers for an undisclosed sum to Performance Food Group, which will be its nearest rival after the deal for US Foods closes.
