PART I

Item 1. Business

General

The Registrant, Albertson's, Inc. (the "Company"), is incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware and is the successor to a business founded by J.
A. Albertson in 1939. The Company is the fourth largest retail food-drug chain
in the United States with operations in 19 Western, Midwestern and Southern
states. As of February 2, 1995, the Company operated 720 stores consisting of
588 combination food-drug stores, 88 conventional supermarkets and 44 warehouse
stores. Retail operations are supported by eleven Company-owned distribution
centers.

The Company's combination food-drug stores are super grocery/super
drugstores under one roof and range in size from 35,000 to 75,000 square feet.
Most of these stores offer prescription drugs and an expanded section of
cosmetics and nonfoods in addition to specialty departments such as service
seafood and meat, bakery, lobby/video, service delicatessen and floral. Food
and nonfood shopping areas are served by a common set of checkstands and
approximately equal amounts of selling space are devoted to each area.

The Company's conventional supermarkets range in size from 15,000 to 35,000
square feet. These stores offer a full selection in the basic departments of
grocery, meat, produce, dairy and limited nonfood lines. Many locations have
an in-store bakery and service delicatessen.

The Company's warehouse stores are operated primarily under the name "Max
Food and Drug." These no-frills stores range in size from 17,000 to 73,000
square feet and offer significant savings with special emphasis on discounted
meat and produce.

The Company's retail operations are organized into regions with each region
comprised of three to five divisions. A senior vice president who also serves
as a regional manager directs the operating divisions in retail strategies,
planning, marketing approaches and employee development. Each operating
division is managed by a division vice president or manager. The division
staff includes district sales managers responsible for an average of 20 stores
and merchandising specialists in areas such as grocery, produce, pharmacy,
liquor, general merchandise, bakery, meat and service delicatessen. District
sales managers, as well as store directors, are responsible for overall store
operations, and merchandising specialists serve as advisors to help maintain
adherence to overall division pricing and merchandising policies.

The Company's business is highly competitive. Competition is based
primarily on price, product quality and variety, service and location. There
is direct competition from many supermarkets, including independent stores and
local outlets of regional and national chains. Competition also exists with
respect to particular products from such retailers as convenience stores,
warehouse stores, drugstores and nonfood superstores.

The Company has been able to efficiently supply its stores with merchandise
through various means. Stores are provided with merchandise from the Company's
distribution centers, outside suppliers or directly from manufacturers in an
effort to obtain merchandise at the lowest possible cost. The Company
services all of its retail stores from Company-owned distribution centers.

5
All of the Company's stores carry a broad range of national brands and offer
"Albertson's Brands" products in many merchandise categories. The Company's
stores emphasize everyday low prices and provide consumer information such as:
nutritional signing in the meat and produce departments, freshness code dating,
unit pricing and food information pamphlets. The Company also offers a choice
of recyclable paper or plastic bags and collection bins for plastic bag
recycling.

As of February 2, 1995, the Company employed approximately 76,000 people.
Approximately 42% of the employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The Company considers its present relations with employees to be
satisfactory and intends to continue employee development and training,
employee benefit, wage and salary administration programs.

Albertson's stores are located in the Western, Midwestern and Southern areas
of the United States. The following is a summary of the stores by state as of
February 2, 1995:

Item 2. Properties

The Company has actively pursued an expansion program of adding new retail
stores, enlarging and remodeling existing stores and replacing old stores.
During the past ten years, the Company has built or acquired 430 stores.
Approximately 93% of the Company's current square footage has been opened or
remodeled during the same period. The Company continues to follow the policy
of closing stores that are obsolete or lack satisfactory profit potential.

Prior to 1984 the Company financed a major portion of its stores under sale
and leaseback arrangements. The leases normally require the Company to pay for
property taxes, insurance and general maintenance. Some of the leases provide
for contingent rent in addition to minimum rent if sales exceed specified
amounts. Typically such leases contain renewal options which allow the Company
the right to extend the lease for varying additional periods.

Since 1984 the Company has financed most retail store construction
internally, rather than through sale and leaseback arrangements, thus retaining
ownership of its land and buildings. The Company plans to use future cash to
be provided by operating activities and short or medium-term financing to
continue expansion plans in the foreseeable future.

The Company has expanded and improved its distribution facilities in areas
where opportunities exist to improve service to the retail stores and generate
an adequate return on investment. During 1994, approximately 77% of the
merchandise purchased for resale in Company retail stores was received from
Company-owned distribution facilities.

As of February 2, 1995, the Company held title to the land and buildings of
45% of the Company's stores and held title to the buildings on leased land of
an additional 7% of the Company's stores. The Company also holds title to the
land and buildings of the corporate headquarters in Boise, Idaho and all of the
distribution centers.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The final judgment granted by the trial court in favor of the Company in the
Super Food Services litigation was affirmed on appeal by the District Court of
Appeal for the State of Florida, Fifth District, on December 29, 1994, and
Super Food's Motion for Rehearing and/or Clarification was denied on January
30, 1995. There are no further possible appeals.

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing
Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, the
Company hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated
by reference into Company's Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-53959,
2-80776, 33-2139, 33-7901, 33-15062 and 33-43635.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
