In 1965, a group of investors led by Joe Albertson purchased a grocery store in Boise, Idaho, which they renamed Albertsons. The following year, they expanded by acquiring a chain of stores in Southern California.
In 1968, Albertsons began operating in the Southwest by acquiring stores in Texas and New Mexico. By 1977, Albertsons had grown to become the second-largest supermarket chain in the United States. Today, Albertsons Companies Inc. is one of the largest food and drug retailers in the United States, with more than 2,200 stores across the country.
While Albertsons Companies Inc. is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, the company does not own Market Street. Market Street is owned by Kroger, one of the largest grocery store chains in the United States. Kroger operates more than 2,700 Supermarkets across the country under a variety of banner names.
So while Albertsons may be a large grocery store chain, it does not own Market Street. If you’re looking for a place to do your grocery shopping, you’ll have to visit a Kroger store instead.
No, Albertsons does not own Market Street.
