Albertsons is one of two divisions of AB Acquisition, which is owned by the New York-based private equity
In a move that reversed the downward slide in its store count, Albertsons greatly expanded its presence in Texas with the purchase of 50 supermarkets and three distributions centers (among other assets) from family-owned and Lubbock-based United Supermarkets.
