Bartell discussion (specific) from Seattle Times

Yes. And actively uses it as it is still on many storefronts (even if it is coming off some) and on fixtures inside many stores.

I have no clue why this company would register legally under that name. Are they trying to be funny?

Perhaps they plan to pounce on the trademark as soon as Albertsons abandons it, which it seems like they are in the process of doing already.

Albertsons has a long way to go to abandon this trademark. Between interior signage, exterior signage, on multiple divisions, also do they still put the name on prescription labels and such?

And these folks give a prime example of why Albertsons should not abandon the trademark.
