Albertsons is reducing the workforce at its Boise, Id., headquarters.
Just weeks after its merger with Kroger was nixed by a federal court judge, Albertsons is cutting staff at its Boise, Id., headquarters.
According to a report from KBOI, the CBS television affiliate in Boise, the job cuts will impact employees in its corporate and division support officers. It appears that the reductions will not impact store personnel.
In a statement to KBOI, Albertsons said, “Our strategy to win and earn customers for life includes finding new sources of productivity to enable us to invest in growth. After many years of productivity efforts across several parts of our company, we recently turned our attention to our general and administrative expenses and made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our corporate and division workforce.”
It was not immediately clear how many positions would be eliminated, but some of those positions may be moving outside the United States. Albertsons’ officials said the company has been on a “multi-year journey” to balance its onshore and offshore activities, having grown an offshore hub that is home to associates and contract workers supporting administrative operations.
