Re: Brookshire Brothers buys 25 store retailer
Realistically, if BGC sells out to another operator, it will be either be some investor group or perhaps AWG.

Re: Safeway to renovate Moon Valley store in Phoenix
Safeway has been in AZ since the 1920s (when it was known as Pay N Takit)...Albertsons has only been here since 1990. Safeway does well here because they are often the only big store in the small AZ towns where Walmart won't go into because of size. Which means the Albertsons name will probably go ...

Re: Albertsons Store Numbers (and what they mean)
Yeah, I know that there are other 1xx stores besides 101, but I was trying to find examples for divisions I wasn't so sure on.

Re: Fresh & Easy's second bankruptcy?
I found a good article, though I lost it, about how basically everything a supermarket operator needs to know was ignored, with Tesco going there own way, with branded items no one wanted, a distribution system that was basically built from the ground up, and a merchandise mix that confused and dis...

Re: Fred Meyer and product packaging
When I worked at Kroger, they've started updating the product packaging, and trying to make their packaging less generic. For a time (early 2000s, I think?) they were engaging in "full knockoff" mode, with "Chips Ahoy!" and "Chips Amatey!" in almost the same font and co...

Re: Brookshire Brothers buys 25 store retailer
With the news that Brookshire's wants to sell out, makes me wonder if Brookshire Brothers can "re-unite" the two chains. Despite interested sharks circling the waters (Kroger, Albertsons, H-E-B), Brookshire's wanted to retain an identity, which it couldn't really do with the three.

Re: Albertsons LLC Opening LA Store
I just reconfirmed; it was April of 2004 that Albertsons sold stores to A&P and closed what they didn't want. The Mandeville store has been Albertsons twice; it isn't coming back this time. Yeah, I know Albertsons 2.0 is dead, they basically gutted the space because they wanted a Whole Foods mo...

Albertsons Store Numbers (and what they mean)
Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a list of Albertsons store numbers and what they mean in terms of geographic placement....Albertsons has actually renumbered a few stores to not conflict with Safeway stores with that number, so this list isn't 100% what that store means anymore. ;) 1xx: Intermountai...

Re: Albertsons LLC Opening LA Store
I thought the Mandeville Albertsons (v1) pulled out with the rest of the NOLA stores in 2002 with the slash-and-burn of the Houston/San Antonio stores. There was another store near New Orleans that was sold to Sav-a-Center, which became Rouses. By 2005 (and Katrina) Albertsons was only in Baton Rouge.
