Albertsons Cuts Stores After Kroger Deal Falls Through | Texas News

Albertsons, Safeway’s parent company, is aggressively rethinking its store network after the failed Kroger merger, shuttering 35 stores in FY2025 — up from just 10 the prior year — while opening 9 new locations to target high-demand areas. The closures cost over $63 million in sales and spiked expenses tied to abandoned properties, but the company continues investing in tech, online platforms, and store remodels across its 2,200+ locations. With 280,000 employees and multiple grocery brands, Albertsons is navigating a tough transition as it recalibrates its footprint without the merger that once promised scale.
