Don’t think we have any Albertsons anywhere in our area. Safeway bought out our Randall’s stores some years ago and have gradually gotten rid of the special things we used to be able to buy at Randalls. My family likes Grape Nuts - Safeway/Randall’s doesn’t carry. Safeway staff are rude and there is absolutely no service. Way too much on the shelves is either sodium free, fat free or gluten free. Only benefit of shopping there is that we get huge discounts on gas.
I had missed the news about the purchase of Randalls, and am saddened ... that was a small chain I really looked up to. (Lifetime interest in grocery retail because I started teen life as a stocker/bagger for the old A&P.)
Like Randalls, Tom Thumb went downhill after Safeway bought them.
