Albertsons Companies: Toasting to Innovation at The Beverage Forum As a leader in the retail space, Albertsons Companies is committed to excellence and innovation. We understand the beverage category is a dynamic and fast-moving sector, and we're dedicated to staying ahead of the trends to serve our customers the best. This year, we had the privilege of attending The Beverage Forum, an event that has been quenching the industry's thirst for knowledge and connections for 30 years. With over 300 senior executives, it's the hub for networking, deal-making, and gaining cutting-edge insights. The 2024 forum was a celebration of progress, highlighting the exciting convergence of alcoholic and non-alcoholic sectors and the impact of the creator economy on retail. It was a showcase of emerging brands and a testament to the power of innovation. Albertsons Companies didn't just attend; we had a front seat to the future of beverages. We're proud to be part of an event that's shaping the industry and even prouder to bring those insights back to our stores and customers. #AlbertsonsCompanies #BeverageForum #Innovation #RetailLeadership #FutureOfBeverages

We are delighted to celebrate the retirement of Rick Crandall, District Manager in our SoCal Division, who has given 52 years of service to our company and industry. Rick started his career as a box boy at Dales Market in 1971 and through the years has held various positions, from bottle sorter to District Manager.    Rick is an exemplary leader and colleague, who has made a lasting impact on our operations, culture, and sustainability. One of the most rewarding aspects of his career has been the opportunity to mentor and promote numerous associates, encouraging them to grow professionally. Rick is also proud of the sustainability efforts he led for the retail industry when he held the position of Director of Environmental Stewardship.      Rick will be greatly missed by his team and peers, but we wish him all the best in his new chapter as he looks forward to spending more time outdoors, pursuing activities like hiking, boating, fishing and skiing, enjoying Los Angeles Dodgers games and cherishing moments with his friends and family, including his three daughters: Jenny, Colleen, and Casey, and five grandchildren. Rick and his wife Christine will also celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year.     Please join us in congratulating Rick on his remarkable, customer-driven career and thanking him for his dedication and loyalty. Rick, you are a legend, and we hope you enjoy your well-deserved retirement!    #retirement #congratulations #sustainability #teamwork #leadership 

Juneteenth is a time to celebrate, reflect, and serve. That's what our Albertsons African American Leadership Council (AAALC) ARG did this year by participating in different events in Dallas, TX, that commemorated the historical and cultural significance of the day and the resilience and contributions of the African American community. Our AAALC enjoyed activities including: - A panel discussion featuring Dr. Marvin Dulaney from the African American Museum Of Dallas, who shared his insights and expertise on the history and impact of Juneteenth and the Reconstruction Era. - A Family Reunion BBQ at our Plano Office, where our team enjoyed a celebration filled with music, food, Black Line Dancing lessons and connection with colleagues and friends. - A donation drive to support the Boys and Girls Club in Plano, TX, where the team provided food, drinks, and ice cream for the children and staff. Our AAALC members delighted in seeing the smiles on the children’s faces and making their celebration enjoyable and memorable. - A day of service at the African American Museum of Dallas and Opal’s National Walk of Freedom, where the team volunteered to help with various tasks and joined the walk to honor the legacy of Juneteenth and the freedom fighters who paved the way. We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate, reflect, and serve on this important day. We thank all our AAALC members for coming together as one team to give back to our communities and celebrate. Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #ARG #Community
