"You've got to give the customer the merchandise they want, at a price they can afford, complete with lots of tender, loving care." - Joe Albertson

This simple philosophy guided Joe Albertson as he opened his first grocery store in Boise, Idaho on July 21, 1939. Albertsons was built upon the foundation of providing superior service, a wide and varied product selection, and tremendous value to our customers every day. That tradition continues today at our more than 450 stores in nine states throughout the Northwest and West Coast. We offer everything from Preferred Card savings to convenient, in-store pharmacies to fresh produce and excellent meat and seafood - all tailored to the specific needs of the neighborhoods we serve.
