The transaction includes 132 Albertson's stores spread over northern California and northern Nevada, the Roseville, CA, and Vacaville, CA, distribution centers, as well as the Albertson's division office in Dublin, CA. Of the 132 stores, two of the California stores are closed and 10 of the stores are in the Nevada cities of Reno, Sparks and Carson City. Alicia Rockwell, spokesperson for Save Mart, said that the deal between the privately held companies is expected to close in February. The purchase price was not disclosed.

Any changes would come once the transaction is completed in February, at which time the two companies will begin merging operations, she said. Jen Vroman, spokesperson for Albertson's, said that the Albertson's chain entertained an unsolicited offer from Save Mart but that it was not shopping the division around and is not shopping around any of its other divisions.
