Albertsons restructures, consolidates divisions
Albertsons is reorganizing its internal structure, per a report in BoiseDev.
Susan Morris, chief operating officer informed employees this week of several changes, in an internal memo obtained by BoiseDev.
Albertsons’ Intermountain division, which includes most of the stores in Idaho, Montana, and much of Wyoming, will be combined with the Denver division, which includes Colorado and surrounding areas, the report said.
John Colgrove, who currently leads the Intermountain Division, will depart from Albertsons this summer after 47 years with the company. Todd Broderick, who formerly led the Denver division, retired last year.

The new combined Denver/Intermountain division will be known as the “Mountain West division,” Morris’ memo noted. It will be headed by Brad Street, who currently heads the company’s Seattle operations. Street preceded Colgrove in the Intermountain division position, per the report.
Albertsons will organize itself into East, West and California regions, the report said.
The company promoted and moved around a number of executives with the organizational changes and departures of Broderick and Colgrove, per the report.
An Albertsons spokesperson provided Drug Store News with the following statement, “As we continue to evolve and enhance our retail operations, a core part of that effort is ensuring our organizational structure properly enables strong local operational excellence across the regions we serve and also leverages our size and scale. As such, we recently made some divisional leadership updates, placing some of our best leaders in new roles and providing new opportunities for our team, as we continue to deliver on our strategy to earn Customers for Life. We are also combining our Intermountain and Denver divisions into a new division called the Mountain West Division, enabling us to operate in new and innovative ways as we serve our customers and communities.”
