NOTE: Word on the street, or more specifically the telephone, is that Albertsons is now Lucky. Technically, Albertsons is returning to being Lucky. Wikipedia learned me that Lucky was founded in Alameda County in 1935. In 1999, Albertsons bought its parent company and by 1999, the Lucky brand had disappeared. And now its back. Albertsons has had a checkered history including wage disputes with its union workers and what Nicole called ties to Christian/anti-abortion groups. I don’t really know because I don’t shop there, but I guess Albertsons wasn’t so lucky. I promise to investigate soon.

Albertsons sold all of their Northern California stores in 2007 and left Northern California after failing to succeed here. They no longer own this store. This store is now owned by the family owned Modesto, California based supermarket chain called Save Mart Supermarkets. Save Mart Supermarkets changed the name of the Bay Area stores to Lucky since many of the Bay Area stores were originally called Lucky. Save Mart Supermarkets treats its employees very well. In late 2007, the employees received the largest across the board wage increase in Northern California grocery industry history. I visited the El Cerrito Plaza Lucky today and the store had a great selection of food. The employees were very friendly and helpful.
