I've seen a couple close in the past year. They have good sale prices, but their everyday prices are near those of high-end (and high-quality) grocery stores.

no, they will be around until they are not.

Yes. They are among the highest priced grocery stores in my area. Having union employees has cost them a TON of money. Since they stopped giving me the Albertson's card discount if I didn't have a card I haven't gone there. I think the trend is catching on.

I seen a few of them going out of business In my areas and I never shopped there cause everything was always high In price and I always prefer to go to the Fiesta grocery stores Instead.

There will always be a need for grocery stores, so they won't just disappear. However, the names and owners are continually changing. Where I live, the stores used to be called Lucky, then they changed their signs to Albertsons, and later many of them closed. Other stores opened up called Save Mart.
If you read the financial reports, you will find that grocery stores are bought and sold and reorganized and renamed all the time. It's impossible to keep up.

As Yarnlady said, grocery store chains may change ownership but the store themselves don't usually disappear unless they somehow do business in a way that causes an irreversible decline and for some reason becomes unsalable. For example, the old A&P stores were too small and not well located or market for the suburban expansion after about 1960.
The very successful New England chain, Shaws, is now owned by Alberstons and is doing very well. Before that it was owned by the Uk chain, Sainsbury, and emerged none the worse for its corporate travels.
Albertson's management may change, and so might the mame, but I doubt that youwill see the stores disappear.

If you ask the clerk if canned beans are on sale and he says "BOGO TOMORROW," should you punch him in the nose?
