Albertsons Announced as Official Grocery Partner of LSU Athletics

BATON ROUGE — LSU Sports Properties, LSU Athletics, and Albertsons Grocery Store announced today the popular grocery store chain will be the exclusive and Official Grocery Partner of LSU Athletics beginning with the 2022-23 academic year.

“We are so thrilled to be the official grocery sponsor for LSU,” said Wes Jackson, Albertsons Southern Division President. “At Albertsons, what’s important to our customers is important to us, and we know that LSU is an icon our local customers are proud of. Whether you need to stock up for your game day tailgate, cheer on the team from your living room, or purchase the newest spirit wear from our in-store pro-shop, our store teams are here to help. We are excited about this partnership and proud to say: Geaux Tigers!”

As part of the partnership agreement, Albertsons will be the newest Team LSU Partner supporting LSU Athletics, receiving premium signage in all LSU Athletics venues in addition to radio, television, Internet and print advertising. Albertsons will also receive game sponsorship benefits, tickets, and hospitality access for sporting events.

As a partner who is both nationally great and locally strong, Albertsons operates throughout North America, with seven stores in Baton Rouge and 16 stores in Louisiana. For all LSU Football games, Albertsons customers in Central and Southern Louisiana who wear their LSU jersey in-store on game day will receive 10% off their entire purchase.

“We are thrilled to welcome Albertsons to our family of foundational Team LSU partners and excited for the opportunity to leverage our relationships across the multiple grocery channels that Albertsons offers,” said Lance Burgos, General Manager of LSU Sports Properties. “Albertsons’ commitment to quality, convenience and service makes them an ideal partner for LSU Athletics. The partnership will provide LSU Athletics brand extension not only across South Louisiana but also into the Texas market, expanding opportunities to our stable of food and beverage partners throughout the Albertsons portfolio of grocery brands.”

The first game of the 2022 LSU Football home schedule was held Saturday, Sept. 10, against the Southern Jaguars.
