What Albertsons does

Albertsons is a food and drug retailer. As of February 28, 2026, it ran 2,244 supermarkets in 35 states and the District of Columbia under 22 banners (store names), including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco and Shaw's, and had about 280,000 employees. Stores sell groceries, general merchandise, health and beauty items, pharmacy products, vaccines and fuel, in stores and online through delivery and curbside pickup.

Albertsons makes money by selling these goods and services to shoppers. It reports one segment, because its geographic divisions have similar economics and sell the same general mix of products. It also sells its own store brands, such as Signature SELECT and O Organics, which had retail sales of $16.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Only 9.9% of those products were made in its own plants; the rest are bought from other makers. It calls competition in its industry intense.

Beyond the stores, it operated 1,713 in-store pharmacies, 405 fuel centers, 22 distribution centers and 19 food production plants. Delivery orders are placed through its own platform and through partners such as Instacart, DoorDash and Uber. It uses loyalty-program data to personalize offers.
