Albertsons again mulls an IPO

The nation's second-largest supermarket chain is again deciding whether it should go public.

Albertsons, which owns the Jewel-Osco and Safeway chains, is expected to announce in a few weeks whether it will proceed with an initial public offering, which could be valued at around $19 billion. The grocery giant has been updating IPO documents confidentially filed with the Securities Exchange & Commission, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
