Yes, the Albertsons logo is the same on both sides. But seven years later, everything from self-checkout to loyalty to POS to prescription systems is now different across the soon-to-be-unsplit chain. And everything will have to be merged"”and fast.
The chain has only been split since 2006. How much could have changed since then? Quite a bit, actually.
