Albertsons Remodeling Stores, Trying To Revive Brand
October 10, 2013 | 1 min to read
BOISE — Albertsons cut the ribbon on three newly renovated grocery stores in Boise Wednesday. But, company leaders say it's not just about looking different, it's about being better.
It started Wednesday morning when Albertsons CEO Bob Miller, its Intermountain Division President Susan Morris, and the Idaho Gov. Butch Otter cut the ribbon on the original, but now remodeled, store at 17th and State Street.
"Today we're celebrating Albertsons being an Idaho-based company once again," said Morris.
Back in the 1990s, Albertsons became one of the largest American grocery operators in the nation. That changed after Supervalu bought Albertsons in 2006. But, in March, after years of being run by an out-of-state company, all Albertsons stores were consolidated back under the roof of Albertsons LLC, headquartered in Boise.
