Your argument has adopted such a narrow "market" as to make it meaningless for anit-trust law purposes. Let's take the market for canned chicken soup for example. Assume that "Super Market Inc", a supermarket chain, sells its own brand of chicken soup which is not available at any other supermarket. The relevant market in question may be as wide as the market for groceries. It may be as narrow as the market for chicken soup. At a stretch maybe even canned chicken soup. I certainly cannot see the anit-trust law operating in relation to the market for "Super Market Inc Home Brand Chicken Soup".
