!! DO NOT SPEEDY DELETE THIS !! The last version of this page was "speedy deleted" because bots believed it a clone, but it's not! This is a sandbox to add new sections to it. In fairness, the old page was not in the right name space but it was too late. So please, don't tag this.

The main purpose of this article is to add items to Albertsons.

2001
In November 2001, Albertsons introduced "Albertsons-Osco" to some stores.

In March 2002, Albertsons sold the Tulsa distribution center, which also contained the division office for Great Plains, to

Super Saver
Albertsons LLC also closed all but two of its 23 Super Saver stores.

Save Mart
In November 2006, Albertsons LLC agreed to sell the Northern California division to Save Mart, which would operate the stores as Lucky. The deal closed in February 2007.

2007
The company continued to shed stores in 2007. The remaining Austin, Texas area stores were sold to H-E-B and the Oklahoma stores to members of Associated Wholesale Grocers. With the closures, only four stores south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area existed in Texas, all of which were closed by December 2011.

2008
In May 2008, Albertsons exited the fuel business and sold 72 Albertsons Express gas stations to Valero Energy, which converted most of them to Corner Store locations.

2009
In August 2009, Albertsons closed five more stores in Colorado and closed down the distribution center, effectively consolidating what was left of the Rocky Mountain division into the Southwest division.

2010
The Plant City distribution center was sold to Gordon Food Service though the Florida Division continued to be located there.

2013
On January 10, 2013, it was announced that Cerberus would purchase SuperValu's share in Albertsons. While Albertsons was unified once more, it was no longer one solid company, nearly half of the stores it had in 2006 had closed, and SuperValu continued to do much of the distribution, brands, and back office support. Bristol Farms was not included in the buy-back, as it had previously been sold by SuperValu in 2010.

In February 23, 2013, Albertsons LLC announced it would consolidate operations of the combined chain into five divisions: Northwestern, Intermountain, Southern California, Southern (renaming from Dallas-Fort Worth and consolidating Florida into it), and Southwestern. New Albertsons Inc. would hold the non-Albertsons branded stores: ACME, Jewel-Osco, and Shaw's/Star Market.
