MINNEAPOLIS AP – A Wisconsin convenience store is claiming that three packaged ice producers created an international conspiracy to freeze in high prices and divide up the market so they wouldn’t have to compete with each other.
In a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, Ridge Plaza Inc. of Milwaukee claims the packaged ice producers violated federal antitrust laws and harmed others by inflating the price of cubed, crushed, block and dry ice sold in the U.S. and Canada. The lawsuit seeks class action status.
