Notes: From Wikipedia: "Safeway, Inc. is an American supermarket chain founded by Marion Barton Skaggs in April 1915 in American Falls, Idaho. The chain provides grocery items, food and general merchandise and features a variety of specialty departments, such as bakery, delicatessen, floral and pharmacy, as well as Starbucks coffee shops and fuel centers. It is a subsidiary of Albertsons after being acquired by private equity investors led by Cerberus Capital Management in January 2015. Safeway's primary base of operations is in the Western United States with some stores located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Eastern Seaboard. The subsidiary is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, with its parent company, Albertsons, headquartered in Boise, Idaho.
"Safeway stores operate under the logo of a stylized white 'S' inside a rounded red square with the slogan 'Ingredients for life.' Following the organics trend, the stores have expanded the number of organic fruits and vegetables in the produce section and offer other items under the 'O Organics' label. Stores may have a Starbucks, a deli counter, a meat department, a produce section, a flower department, a bakery, a pharmacy, a liquor section, and many aisles of nonperishable items. The stores offer many in-house private label brands as well as name brands across all product categories."
