June 8, 2012 - Pasadena, CA - Bad news was revealed for those working in the grocery industry. Supervalu Inc, owner of the Albertsons grocery chain, has announced they're laying off up to 2,500 people, which represents 13 percent of its entire staff.

The layoffs are occurring across all 247 Albertsons stores, which are located in California and Nevada. They will start on June 17 with all notifications being sent out by July 1. Albertsons represents the largest chain of stores within the Supervalu family.
