The $16.9 billion of Own Brands retail sales is approximately 20% of FY2025 consolidated net sales and other revenue of $83.17 billion, calculated from the reported figures; this percentage is not presented as a company-reported share.[1][13] [1]+9

Geographic presence

In FY2025, Albertsons Companies operated 2,244 stores across 35 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.[14] Its FY2025 disclosures do not provide revenue or sales percentages by country, state, or region; reported segment results are not a geographic revenue breakdown.[15]

The company’s principal executive office and headquarters are in Boise, Idaho. It also has corporate offices in Pleasanton, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Plano, Texas, and global business capability centers in India and the Philippines.[16][17] Albertsons reported approximately 280,000 associates as of February 28, 2026, but did not disclose their geographic distribution.[18] [14]+4

Business segments

Albertsons Companies reports its geographically based retail operating divisions as operating segments, but aggregates them into one reportable segment. The divisions have similar economic characteristics and long-term performance, and offer similar products through stores and digital channels; the company does not disclose separate revenue or EBITDA contributions by division.[19]

For fiscal 2025, the sole reportable segment therefore represented 100% of reported segment revenue. Its net sales and other revenue were $83.17 billion, comprising $82.36 billion in retail sales (about 99.0%) and $813.1 million in other revenue (about 1.0%). Retail segment EBITDA was $4.40 billion; EBITDA is the principal performance measure used by the chief operating decision maker.[15][20] [19]+5

Company history

Albertsons traces its origins to 1939, when Joe Albertson and L.S. Skaggs opened the first store in Boise, Idaho.[21] In 2006, the legacy Albertsons business was divided among Supervalu, CVS, and a Cerberus-led investor group.[22] In 2013, Supervalu sold Albertsons and several other grocery banners to AB Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of the investor group.[23]

AB Acquisition completed its merger with Safeway on January 30, 2015, combining the two grocery businesses.[24] Albertsons went public in June 2020, with its shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ACI.[25] In October 2022, Albertsons and Kroger agreed to a proposed merger; after courts enjoined the transaction, Albertsons exercised its termination right in December 2024, and the merger did not close.[26][27] [26]+6
