I think the most frustrating part of all that is forcing the Safeway card on those consumers. Yeesh.

That being said, Albertsons in Colorado wasn't much of a player after the LLC cuts. At some point during that process they closed the DC and division office for Rocky Mountain and moved them to Southwest...and there were no divestments. Part of the other problem was that after the merger, they went back to Safeway's Denver division, which wasn't doing all that well to begin with...

Well, those 3 remaining stores are pretty old decor (but look clean in Google Maps photos). At least they got a paint over good ol' gray/blue.
