Requested a delay.... "to the end of next year" .... December 31, 2023?

But plans to open the store much sooner than that...

Details state the main switchboard is delayed until mid-April.

The Albertsons in Carlsbad, CA (La Costa) was originally going to be a Lucky. Construction was delayed longer than this one in Wyoming, due to water issues with the site. It finally opened in March 2004, right after the strike ended (opening was going to be around the time the strike started, October 2003).

There appear to be about 3 photos online of this store now. One is just a floral arrangement, another a piece of produce that seems to have some issues. Oddly, a Winco bulk bin also made its way to the page.

Here's the only interior photo:
