Actually, I was under the understanding that Superfresh was a name they created to take over some of their "regular" A&P locations due to an issue with the unions at the time, rather than an existing chain that they took over?pseudo3d wrote: To me, I took the "not Joe Albertson's company" both in referring literally to the actual company (although evidence exists that Albertsons LLC is in fact the reorganized Albertsons Inc., Albertsons Companies Inc. is AB Acquisition LLC, created in 2006) and the fact that Albertsons does things differently now. Remember, Albertsons was the last of the big supermarket chains to understand that changing local names to the corporate one is a bad idea in the long run. Even A&P learned that lesson in the 1980s with Super Fresh, and later Farmer Jack (not that either of those names survive today).
Certainly works for Farmer Jack, though (including that they eventually changed some existing A&P locations to that name).
