>> Safeway I believe owns Albertsons. There was some chatter about them changing the names of Albertsons and Randals but have not heard anything in a while.
@beastmode: Actually Albertson's parent company, Cerberus Capital Management purchased Safeway Brands who was the parent company of Randalls. Their hope is to be bigger than Kroger. Bigger doesn't always equate to better.Â
@Chrisinkingwood: I suspect it will be another corporate raid. Too hard creating something like Kroger if you want to make a fast buck. Easier to cut costs and dump it on another raider management firm. Agree though, it might be bigger but like Walmart, bigger does not mean better. I shop at Randalls a lot due to convenience and a lot of welfare recipients from my observation. Â
