The Albertson's version was put in as an easy and
relatively cheap way of finding out if there was
a market for their product in your area. Hense
the subsequent opening of a freestanding store.

Eventually they will saturate the market too much
and their empire will come crashing down on them.
It has happened many times before with companies
who had better products.
