History

The company started when Marion Barton Skaggs purchased his father’s grocery store in American Falls, Idaho and operated two separate businesses namely Skaggs Cash Stores and Skaggs United Stores. Both stores grew quickly and Skaggs enlisted the help of his brothers to help grow the network of the stores. Skaggs strategy was to give his customers value and to expand it by keeping a narrow profit margin and it became successful. The company was named Safeway in 1925 which has the original slogan “an admonition and an invitation” to “Drive the Safeway, buy the Safeway”. Because during that time the grocery operated on a cash-and-carry basis and it did not offer credit. They considered it “safe way” to buy because a family could not get into debt via its grocery bill especially during the Great Depression. In 1926, Skaggs was opening 428 stores in 10 states and almost doubled the size of his business that year and merged his company with 322 Safeway stores and incorporated as Safeway, Inc. There are now over 1,600 Safeway stores across the United States and Canada, including the 251 Safeway stores in Northern California, 279 in the Southern and Nevada, 114 in Texas and 35 stores in Alaska. Customers can always count on their great prices on the freshest produce and meat and thousands of lower prices down the aisle. Their website also offers recipes, meal tips and great options for a healthy living. And customers can order anytime from their home or office using their company’s mobile app.
