How to Cancel Safeway

• Safeway
• Albertsons Companies Inc

Safeway Inc., situated in American Falls, Idaho, first opened its doors in April 1915. S. M. Skaggs, a Baptist minister, spoke out against “the growing evil of installment purchasing” among grocers and storekeepers. He created Skaggs, a store where customers could select items from shelves and pay at the register. S.M.’s son, M.B. Skaggs, offered $1088 (equivalent to $31500 in 2022) to purchase the store. Three years later, he launched a business in Burley, Idaho. Skaggs expanded his business by operating many locations in Idaho and Montana. In 1926, M.B. Skaggs purchased a grocer and a coffee company, Skaggs Cash Store and Skaggs United locations, and convinced his five brothers to create 428 stores in ten states. Skaggs also merged his company with 322 Sam Seelig Company stores and renamed it Safeway Inc., believing that the chain would outlive him. Because it was cash, not credit, this was the “safe way” to buy groceries. A family would not be in debt because of a store bill, which contributed to the Great Depression for many families. Later that year, Charles E. Merrill, founder of Merrill Lynch, envisioned West Coast grocery consolidation. He purchased W.R.H. Weldon’s 322 Safeway locations and offered Skaggs $1.5 million and 30,000 shares in the merged firm, which he accepted. M.B. Skaggs became CEO after the Skaggs/Safeway merger. Two years later, Safeway joined the NYSE. In the 1930s, the supermarket industry pioneered pound pricing, “sell by” dates on perishables, nutritional data, and parking lots. Following the merger, Safeway became the largest Western grocery chain. In 1929, the corporation relocated from Reno, Nevada to Oakland, California, and subsequently in 1996 to Pleasanton, California. Until the year 2000, the company had expanded into other US states, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, West Germany, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Outside of the West Coast, expansion was a failure. In 2014, Safeway explored selling, and Albertson’s made an offer of $9.4 billion. Albertsons and Safeway merged on January 30, 2015. According to a merger agreement, Kroger intends to buy Albertsons for $24.6 billion.
