Albertsons to close doors at 26 locations

Albertsons has confirmed that it plans to close 26 locations.



“This is part of our typical review cycle, and after reviewing store performance, we determined that these stores could not be positioned for future profitability, with the exception of the two stores in Acme that were closed for underperformance. The two Acme stores were closed because the leases are expiring,” the company said in a statement sent to sister publication Drug Store News.



The closures include 22 locations that are part of Albertson’s LLC, as well as two Acme and two Shaw’s locations that are part of New Albertsons Inc. Albertsons LLC and New Albertsons Inc. are part of AB Acquisition.
