When Joe Albertson opened his first grocery store in Boise, Idaho, in 1939, he called it "Idaho's largest and finest food store." Joe was innovative. He had one of the first magazine racks in the country. He offered his customers hot, buttered popcorn, roasted nuts, and double-dipped home-made ice cream cones, plus one of the first scratch bakeries. From the beginning, his philosophy was to "Give the customer the merchandise they want, at a price they can afford, complete with lots of tender, loving care." Today, in all of its stores from Arizona to Florida and with over 20,000 associates, Albertson's LLC still practices this same philosophy. The organization has evolved from that corner store into a chain spanning several states, but its focus continues to be on the customer, and on becoming the favorite neighborhood food and drug retailer in every market where it does business.
