Store closings and other belt-tightening moves at Albertson’s do not mean the supermarket chain is rethinking its long-standing alliance with Duncan & Associates, a spokesman for the retailer confirmed last week.

The various cost-cutting moves at Albertson’s, including the closing of 165 stores, come at a time when the 6-year-old Los Angeles agency has trimmed staff, brought in new leadership and set out to find business beyond its core client.
