In 1949, Joe Albertson decided to break away from Safeway and start his own grocery store.  Albertsons became one of the nation's largest chain stores.  J. R. Simplot left home at age 14, and dropped out of school.  After a string of calculated risks, Simplot managed to build a multi-billion-dollar company. Idaho Experience  "Titans" looks at the lives of Joe Albertson and J. R. Simplot to see ways they helped change the state of Idaho.
