Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Headquarters Location

I have changed the headquarters location back to Eden Priairie, Minn. as this is where all senior executives of what was Albertsons are now based. The highest ranking exceutive who is responsible for the Supervalu Support Campus in Boise is Duncan Mac Naughton, Executive Vice-President of Merchandising & Marketing. Mac Naughton is actually based in Eden Prairie, Minn., even though for now he is working from the Support Campus in Boise.

Refer to the article from the Idaho Statesman: [1]

'Associates' or 'Employees'?

1st para uses associates euphemism Wal-Mart-speak instead of employees, is there a need for such euphemistic corporate-speak in the opening paragraph description?

Breaking news

I haven't yet edited it in, but it NorCal division has reportedly been sold to Save Mart... Ranma9617 02:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fortune Ranking

I'm seeing an apparent contradiction between this article and the Fortune 500 article. I suspect what's going on here is that some information is more up-to-date than other information. (Some of the discussion here seems to indicate there have been significant changes.) Nonetheless, there is no direct clarification in the article, and there probably should be, because it's confusing. Here is what I see:

  • Albertson's, according to this article, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Supervalu.
  • Albertson's has a Fortune 500 ranking of 47.
  • Supervalu has a Fortune 500 ranking of 113.

If those are all true at the same time, something very weird is going on. Normally a company can't have a smaller gross revenue than its wholly owned subsidiary. Maybe this will resolve itself when the 2007 Fortune rankings come out, but meanwhile it's very confusing, and perhaps something should be done meanwhile to clarify what is going on, e.g., if the link in the Fortune 500 article was meant to point to an article on the larger pre-January-2006 company, perhaps some note should be made in that article to the effect that the company in question no longer exists as such. As it stands, the implication is that the Albertson's that is the subject of this article is a Fortune 50 corp and much larger than Supervalu, but that makes no sense if it's a subsidiary of Supervalu. --Jonadab, 2006 Dec 15.

New Albertsons Inc. and Albertsons LLC

To make sure users know the differenace between the two Albertson's compaines, I'm trying to set up a page that lists both. That way no one is confused and the pages are set up more easier. --MortalConviction, 2007 June 14.

Are there two different Stores, some called New Albertsons? Or is New Albertsons Inc. just the name of the holding company? The way it is presented in the very beginning makes this confusing. --Asperous (talk) 00:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move from Albertsons (disambiguation) to Albertsons

Brands

Since New Albertsons, Inc. no longer directly operates the stores under the Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, Star Markets, or Acme Markets banners (they have been divided among Supervalu's different operating divisions) I think it would be somewhat wrong to claim these brands are still owned/operated by Albertsons. However the page should still clearly state that those chains up to the acquisition was owned by the former Albertsons, Inc. --MortalConviction, 2007 June 16.

History

Not all the information on Albertsons LLC should be deemed as "History". That signals a lack of information. MortalConviction 16:58, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and Albertsons is located in Nevada also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.166.156 (talk) 07:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmm, I don't think so

I don't know where in the world the writer of this article got the idea, but Florida stores have not collected any Preferred Savings cards. In fact, mine is still mounted on my key-chain.

So. Cal. NOT ABS LLC

SuperValu owns the Southern California Albertsons stores. The LA Times article reference and closed store photo should be removed or relocated to the SVU page. Celliot2 (talk) 11:56, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Convenience Store?

Shouldn't there be a Convenience Stores template at the bottom of the page? (like the ones on here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigel's , and here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni-Mart .) The Convenience Store template on other pages contains a link to Albertsons LLC.

Name of Article?

I would suggest this article be called "Albertsons (SuperValu)" or something similar. "New Albertsons" is just a legal name used in official documents, and is hardly ever used other than on legal paperwork. --bud08, 2010 Octboer 13. —Preceding undated comment added 04:06, 14 October 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I prefer the use of "New Albertsons", due to the fact that is the legal name, and lets say the company got a different owner, its name would have to change again. I recommend that its name is reverted back to "New Albertsons" I have seen "New Albertsons" on Albertsons doors. Viller the Great (talk) 06:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the scripophily website, apparently a history of Albertsons, is gone. The link resolves to the main page of the site.

I'm unsure of proper procedure here; the page seems irrecoverable. Do we just remove the link? MichaelCaricofe (talk) 02:27, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Founded in 2006?

This isn't right. I've been to an Albertsons grocery store long before 2006. That needs to be changed. 4.238.0.44 (talk) 20:24, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Albertsons is one company again

Albertsons no longer is two companies. Cerberus bought the remaining stores owned by SuperValu. Now they form one company, under Albertsons LLC. So the two Albertsons articles should not be separate. They should be merged, under the name, Albertsons. Viller the Great (talk) 02:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
