I don't know. The Wiki page for Jewel is hard to follow. lol So maybe Albertsons & Jewel do not have the same parent companies any more? More than I really care to take an in-depth look into. haha
Albertsons acquired American Stores' holdings, including Jewel and Jewel-Osco stores, in 1999.

Seven years later, parent company Albertsons and its stores would be taken over by two separate groups. On May 30, 2006, shareholders approved the break-up of Albertsons. All Jewel-Osco and Jewel Food Stores outside of
Springfield, Illinois were now wholly owned by
SuperValu. The Springfield stores were acquired by an investment group led by
Cerberus Capital Management. Both of those have since been sold to
Niemann Foods, an independent operator of grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores in Central Illinois which now operates them under the
County Market brand. All free-standing Osco drugstores are now owned by
CVS Pharmacy. The Osco name is still used for pharmacies within Albertsons, Jewel, Star Market and
Shaw's.
In 2008, the headquarters for the Illinois-based Jewel-Osco division was moved from Melrose Park to Itasca.
