Brad Street, Albertsons’ Intermountain Division President, complimented Paul’s Market on its dedication to the community and was excited to welcome new associates to the company.
“Over its many years operating retail food stores in the region, Paul’s Market has developed an outstanding reputation for quality, selection, and service,” said Street. “We are excited to have the chance to add experienced retail employees to our ranks, as well as the opportunity to build on that foundation and earn the trust of Paul’s Market loyal customer base.”
The Albertsons Intermountain Division operates 84 stores in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, North Dakota, and Nevada.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Both parties hope to close the deal for these stores sometime in April.
