Albertsons Looks to Hold Onto ‘Several Million’ New Shoppers
According to a Grocery Dive article, Albertsons gained “several million” new customers during the first quarter as restaurants and businesses closed, and the stay-at-home order started. The brand also plans to use its loyalty program to try and keep its new customers and engage its old customers even more.
“Here’s how I think about it: If you’re not traveling a lot, you don’t care about the airline loyalty program. When you’re traveling a lot, it matters a lot,” Albertsons CEO Vivek Sankaran said in an earnings call in the above Grocery Dive article. “And if you’re shopping a lot to buy products, eating at home a lot, a loyalty program matters, and it’s proving out to be true.”
