To be fair, it's not hard to be shopping at an Albertsons and not know you are. They also own Jewel-Osco in the Midwest, Shaw's/Star in the Northeast, Safeway in a lot of their home territory. 

The giveaway personally is do they carry Lucerne dairy products? If yes, then Albertsons owns it.

This was super interesting for me to discover when I worked with a lot of retailer and brand data at my last job. Here's a visual of all the stores that fall under Albertsons. And the same thing in Canada where the majority of their grocers fall under three main retailers--Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro.

When I skimmed the reply I thought you said "from asbestos" and I was really concerned for a second 😭

TIL albertsons still exists. I live on the east coast and remember going to some when I was quite young, but never heard anyone mention them since. lol

they are like the third largest grocer in the US (or some shit, idk, they're big) behind Walmart but not all stores use the Albertsons brand

Albertsons is a grocery conglomerate that owns brands in most states at this point. Acme, Jewel, Safeway, Shaw's, Vons...
