Albertsons

Western supermarket company

Albertsons is a major American supermarket chain, one of the largest grocery retailers in the United States.

The name appears on storefronts across western and southern states, often in competition with Kroger and Safeway: I need to stop by Albertsons on the way home.

Founded in Idaho in 1939, it has absorbed numerous regional grocery brands.
