Their commercial back in the day was "it's Joe Albertson's supermarket and they go out of their way for you".

So, it's the founders last name.

You have to break this down into Albert, Albertson and Albertsen:

On ALBERT from http://www.searchforancestors.com/surnames/origin/a/albert.php

(German) All bright or famous; beort or bert, signifies famous, fair, and clear, bright; so Sebert and Ethelbert were sometimes written Se bright and Ethel bright. All, Eal, and Æl, in old English and Saxon compound names, have the same signification as the English All, as Al-dred, Al-win, etc.

On ALBERTSON from http://landing.ancestry.com/learn/clues/fact.aspx?html=freetrial&fid=10&sourcecode=17397&ln=Albertson&o_xid=0031936496&o_lid=0031936496

Albertson
Patronymic from Albert, English in form, but only rarely found as a surname in England or Scotland. In many cases it is probably a respelling of Danish and Norwegian Albertsen, Swedish Albert(s)son, or a cognate in some other language.

On ALBERTSEN http://landing.ancestry.com/learn/clues/fact.aspx?fid=10&ln=Albertsen&fn=&yr=&html=freetrial&sourcecode=17397&o_xid=0031936496&o_lid=0031936496

North German, Danish, and Norwegian: patronymic from the personal name Albert.

Come on, is this a serious question?
Albertson = Albert's son = Son of Albert.
