Citing people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that the giant Albertsons grocery chain, which also owns Jewel-Osco and Safeway, is updating its paperwork with the SEC in preparation for a possible IPO, to be decided in coming weeks. Albertsons made one failed attempt to go public in 2015 and pulled back from a plan in 2018 to go public as part of a deal to acquire Rite Aid in 2018.
