Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Weird. I thought kroger had bought out albertson's years ago. At least 15 years or so ago, all the albertson's stores (like 10 that I knew of) became krogers in my area.
The biggest move with Albertson's in the last while (maybe a little less than 10 years ago) was buying Safeway. Maybe you're thinking of that, and/or maybe they closed some stores and Kroger came in instead? Here in Denver they're looking at selling some stores to the company that owns Piggly Wiggly to make regulators happy - could be that something like that was done.
As part of the Albertsons-Safeway merger a number of locations were required to be sold, and often they were sold to another grocery chain.
I'm sure they either sold those specific stores to Kroger, or closed and Kroger bought the building like you said, but I just haven't seen an Albertson's in decades here. I really thought they had went under.
I think it's pretty regionalized. Here in Denver, the few Albertsons I know of were turned into Safeway after the merger. But I went to an Albertsons in New Mexico just a few months ago
Fuck, North of Seattle off, iirc, 238th and 99, there was an Albertsons and a Safeway kiddie corner to each other, and some brilliant person decided what was best for each store was to switch locations, with each other. These are the big brains here, people, better look out!
I hope whomever initiated that set in motion an unstoppable Rube Goldman chain of events on his way out after telling the board of executives to fuck themselves off a cliff, and if they're not the case, then I hope they physically join the rest at the bottom of our metaphorical cliff
They run several brand names depending on which market you're in
