Safelite Group suggests it may buy Giant Glass

Mass. company, with five locations in state, declines to comment on possibility

Safelite Group, the country’s largest provider of vehicle glass repair services, suggested Monday that it is trying to acquire a prominent competitor in Massachusetts, Giant Glass Co., but declined to provide details.

“Nothing has been finalized at this time,” said Melina Metzger, the public relations manager for Safelite Group in Columbus, Ohio, adding that it was premature to make any announcements.

What about all those ads Giant runs on WEEI warning us against out of state auto glass companies?  And then they sell out to an out of state auto glass company?  What's up with that?  And does Safelite get the Dennis Drinkwater Red Sox season tickets as part of the deal?
