This is very good news for Boise, Albertsons will still be here

[colin]

Good. I like Albertson's. Locations all over the country have already been sold off though.

All of ours were replaced by Publixes.

Is Albertson's headquartered in Boise?

[Boisefan]

Yes, and they employ about 2000 people at their headquarters, kind of hard to replace.

We had a single Albertson's nearby back in the 70s/80s, then it disappeared. It seemed popular, I liked it. Albertson's made a comback to the area though in the late 90s and replaced all of the Lucky stores here. Most of them are nice, but the one right by our house is terrible! It's a smaller one, very dated, cold, never enough checkers working or monitoring the self-checkout. Closed their meat dept. two years back for whatever reason. It is always dead.

There is a mom and pop type supermarket right across the street that is always booming. Great selection of meats, more gourmet type, superior vegetables. Prices are higher, but so many people don't seem to care. I split my shopping between the two as some of Albertson's' sales aren't bad. I think it qualifiesl as one that the company might sell off as unproductive. The one near my parents is much nicer than the Luckys it replaced, got the full remodel and the staff are really friendly.

The ALbertsons here are all nice and freindly, but i live neer the one closest to the head quarters! Albertsons im guessing is remodling alot of its stoors, and for some it needs to.

Apparently they were still for sale and someone bought them. Or bought at least a considerable amount of them.

Could an administrator remove this thread please, because the company said one thing, and did another and sold its self off, so this is no longer revelent...
