If they aren't closing shops and trimming staff then the only way they can get the price reductions is by squeezing the suppliers, who are already being hammered. I don't think this is good news at all

If they keep all the Supermarket

The promise not to close stores and reduce staff will likely only stand for a couple of years. After that, they will definitely close unprofitable stores. They can then claim that this was "for other business reasons" and "not a result of the merger".
