Albertsons closing 8 stores in Florida

By Kathy Haines January 28, 2010 03:14 PM

Andrea posted that her Boca Raton Albertsons was closing, and today CJ posted that there are big mark-downs at the Pembroke Pines store.

Panicked that my Oakland Park store was next, I made a quick call to Albertsons customer service. Yes, it was confirmed that the following stores were underperforming and are being closed: Boca, Pines, Lake Worth, Delray Beach, and Royal Palm Beach. They will be liquidating stock. Staying open: Key West, Oakland Park, Pt St Lucie and Vero Beach.

Discounts vary by department, starting at 10%, with 33% off on wine, up to 70% off on greeting cards. It might be worth a trip for you bargain hunters.
