Runs supermarket chains across the United States

Albertsons runs supermarket chains across the United States, selling groceries, fresh food and household goods under regional banners such as Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, ACME and Shaw's.

Customers shop in stores or through its apps and websites for curbside pickup and home delivery, with digital coupons and rewards tied to the Albertsons for U loyalty program. It earns money mainly from retail sales in stores and online, plus fuel and advertising sold to consumer brands. Albertsons was founded in 1939 and is based in Boise, Idaho.
