Safeway Weekly Ad Jan 29 – Feb 04, 2025 Kansas city is fascinating in that it was served for decades by all of the “big three” (a&p, kroger, and safeway) and in that all three chains pulled out in about a ten year period starting in the late 1970s. after this, kc was left with one local chain on the way down (milgram) and a collection of independents, franchises, and co ops. except for the presence of limited assortment chains. Safeway continued to be sacramento’s dominant chain throughout the 1970s, but with some significant changes among its locations. while the branches on j street and franklin boulevard had been open for more than thirty years, both were now doing business in new and modern buildings, and both closed late in the decade. Safeway crossed the $2 billion national sales mark in 1957, with 1958 stores in operation. robert magowan succeeded ling warren as safeway’s president in 1955, much to the relief of many store managers who believed that 20 years was enough and that warren’s ideas were wearing thin. This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in denver between 1927 and 1984, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. there may be some omissions due to incomplete or missing data, etc. and i welcome suggestions and corrections. please read about my methodology for more information about what i do and do not include. notes the original.

In 1940, safeway’s 2671 stores were still primarily located west of the mississippi river, with only one major eastern outpost in the washington dc/northern virginia area. in january, 1941, the dc stores, most of which had operated under the sanitary and piggly wiggly banners, adopted the safeway nameplate, ending the last of safeway’s multiple brands following the mergers of the 1930s. Safeway was perhaps somewhat conservative in the move to supermarkets; a&p closed or consolidated more than half its 15000 stores during the 1930s, while safeway’s store count dropped by only about a quarter. the first safeway supermarket units were also somewhat smaller than those of some competitors.
