Lucky/Albertsons "Marriage" Commercial 1999

[pauliewalnuts1156]

I am so glad the poison pill of the Late / Great Lucky stores killed of ABS... Now luck is back in Nor Cal only as a subsidiary of SaveMart.. no where never the same, but it is nice to see the name back up on the stores... Missed the BIG L... Luke E. Stoors!

[chrisiberia]

I remember having Lucky in So. Cali years ago and then Albertson's bought it out. We also had Savon...but I don't remember Albertson's merging with that...?

[recto89]

I remember this commercial on Bay Area TV in the 1990's and it was crazy. Thank God Lucky Came Back to the Bay Area

[MRSTARWAVEZ]

Supervalu, which purchased Albertson's in Calfornia, made a deal with Grocery Outlet in NorCal. They sliced up Albertson's; the Grocery Outlet's NorCal store have retaken the Lucky name and Supervalu has toyed with the idea in SoCal. Bring back Stephanie Edwards and relaunch Lucky!! I bet you anything the name will be welcomed back with open arms!! I miss Lucky and Alpha-Beta.

[chrisiberia]

@MRSTARWAVEZ Agreed!

[WhenenRome]

Yeah. Albertson's "married" Lucky... and then Albertsons "dumped" Lucky like a cheap whore in less than a year, and bansished its name to oblivion. Getting rid of the Lucky name and its model of doing business, in favor of Albertson's, was a huge mistake.

albertsons hella sucked i used to work foralbertsons but then they sold the nothern california stores to savemart then savemart bought the Lucky name so now i work for Lucky its pretty sick

[HARTline2012]

This "marriage" is one of the things that put Albertsons in the heck hole. If corporate mgmt weren't so stupid, this merger would never have happened in the first place! Now we have Albertsons as nothing more than a walking mummy! Down here in Florida, about half the Albertsons stores have been eaten up by Publix!

[gameshowguy2000]

Wow, I didn't know Lucky was part of the Albertson's family. The stores in TX (where I live) have become Albertson's/Savon.

[raichu06]

Texas still has Albertsons? I lived in San Antonio when they left South Texas in 2000 and now in Austin I sometimes see empty parking lots where Albertsons once where. At least in ATX we still have Randalls to pick up the slack.

[gameshowguy2000]

Austin has Randalls, as does Houston. The Dallas/Fort Worth area, where I live, has Tom Thumb. (I think Houston and Austin both have Albertson's as well..I don't know, as I only go down to either of those places on occasion)

[raichu06]

Nope I live in ATX for college and all the Albertsons here closed sometime ago. I have an empty lot by my apt that still has the bldg that housed an Albertsons, logo is washed off and black but you can still read it. We just have HEB and Randalls here in ATX and SA has only HEB..

[jtellaw]

The "marriage" was more a disaster than anything else. It turned what was the best grocer in California into a grocer lacking an identity.

[stevecovington]

..this was the start of the demise of Lucky, Sav-on drugs and Albertsons.. What a foolish mistake it was in the first place, and a bigger mistake to rebrand it all as Albertsons...

I bet we won't have any Albertsons left in two years...

[adape0884frank]

This store had a great delicious bakery and deli but it was very expensive.

[ihatetaft]

Albertons sucks! Prices too high. Why the heck Lucky ever "married" them?

[WorldChallenge]

Lucky is back where I am.

[yellowskin9130]

Lucky is back in San Francisco Bay Area. Wonder where Albertson's still stays.

[stuty1980]

I dont think albertsons is in california anymore, there are still albertsons on the east coast and middle of the U.S.,being ran by whoever owned the bay area stores prior to savemart. maybe it will be like it was prior to albertsons 8 years ago when we had Lucky.

[PervertProducts]

nope, i live in l.a. and theirs as albertsons a few blocks away!

[Giorocks]

Lucky is in Norcal but Albertsons remains in SoCal.

[gameshowguy2000]

Wait...there are Albertson's in Norcal..I went there 8 years ago as well as SoCal..and all of the Albertson's there are Albertson's/Savon.

[markiedoom]

i remember this commercial aha when i was 9. our local albertsons here in san jose is back to lucky again.

[PortPowerKS]

They used to have Albertsons in Oklahoma, but they all switched to Williams or Foodland. They tried it here in Topeka, but didn't fare well. I miss Albertsons, their 10 for 10$ aisles rocked! I did see newer Lucky signs from I-80 but wished I could have gone in, haven't seen 'em in nearly 10 years..

Today's news "Lucky return: Save Mart gambles on revival of storied name -- CHAIN HOPES TO WIN CUSTOMERS BY REVIVING NAME AT 72 BAY AREA STORES"

[mbhfromla]

Well at least there were not any grocery labor strikes when Lucky was around. Now, one in 2004 and another one on its way. That's what ended those price-competitive supermarket ads. Give me Ralphs anyday.

[bmanpunk]

This Albertsons Marrige killed Lucky Stores.

[TJL31SJ]

Agreed!

[Je5s3r]

I Miss Lucky

[loudenswain]

Why is this on here? Who the fuck would watch this? Oh wait, I just did.

[DesignatedDale]

Same here, louden. Now where's the fucking Gemco commercials?
