J Sainsbury PLC (SBRY.LN) and Asda Group Ltd. (AGP.YY) have proposed selling up to 150 stores and a number of gas stations to satisfy the U.K.'s monopoly watchdog.

A report published by the Competition and Markets Authority on Friday showed that the two grocers have proposed selling between 125-150 supermarkets, plus a number of convenience stores, to address concerns of a significant lessening of competition.

Asda--which is owned by Walmart Inc. (WMT)-- and Sainsbury are also proposing the sale of a sufficient number of gas stations in the U.K. to address the watchdog's concerns.

Both grocers hold the opinion that a divestiture remedy isn't necessary or proportional in relation to online delivered grocery shopping, but said they would be willing to discuss possible solutions with the CMA.
