Safeway Weekly Ad Mar 06 – Mar 12, 2024 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 went from 12 stores in 1950 to nine in 1960, the result of its final transition to the supermarket format. new stores from two 1958 prototypes were constructed at 915 broadway and in the new land park subdivision. 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. 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 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. Vons purchased many stores from safeway in 1988, giving safeway a stake in the company. safeway acquired the remainder in 1997; fresno county is the dividing line between the safeway and vons banners, although the actual stores are more or less indistinguishable anyway.
