Both Shaw’s and Acme Markets come under the New Albertsons Inc division. This division was formed when Albertsons LLC acquired the remaining Albertsons stores – and rights to the Albertsons name – from SuperValu Inc, along with the Jewel-Osco, Acme, Shaw’s and Star Market chains in 2013.
In September, Albertsons LLC also acquired regional grocery chain United Supermarkets.
Speaking to just-food about the 26 store closures, a spokesperson for the group said they were “all identified as under-performing”.
“Despite our best efforts, we were unable to position them for future profitability,” the spokesperson added.
