The leadership changes come just a few months after a federal judge temporarily halted a proposed merger between Kroger and Albertsons.

Albertsons said on Monday its CEO Vivek Sankaran will retire and insider Susan Morris would assume the top role, as the supermarket chain shifts focus to build its digital sales and retail media business.

The Cincinnati company's results come just days after the abrupt resignation of long-time Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Rodney McMullen over personal conduct. They're also the first since a federal judge blocked a $20 billion deal to takeover smaller rival Albertsons.
