Talk:Safeway

message: There used to be many locations all over Indiana. Now there are only five, and they are concentrated in Indianapolis. A few of them were named Preston's Safeway, though those locations have closed. I can't seem to find any history on these stores. I was always under the impression that they were once part of the national chain, but through mergers and sell offs, somehow are no longer affiliated with the national chain. But I have no sources to back up that assertion. The five remaining Indiana stores use this website: https://www.shopsafeways.com. These Safeway stores use a logo that was in use in the late 1980s. Not sure when that logo was first in use, or if the national Safeway chain has ever used that logo. - Cali, 73.146.110.137 (talk) 05:47, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 29 November 2022 

message: At some point Safeway closed all its stores in southern Idaho. I recall the company wanted to build a new store in Boise, ID but the city denied the request. Not long afterwards, Boise allowed a new Albertsons to be built on that site. I think the denial to Safeway was something about it being too close to a school. Shortly after, Safeway was gone from Boise and the rest of southern Idaho. Today there are only 4 Idaho Safeway locations, Sandpoint, Moscow, and 2 in Couer d'Alene. If anyone knows the whole story behind that, I think it would be a good addition to this article. Bizzybody (talk) 02:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  When Safeway left Idaho? 

message: It should be noted that employees give great insight into how a business is run, and as such, it is my opinion that employees of Safeway (whether current or former) shall be allowed to insert their own personal knowledge of the company, as long as it falls within Wikipedia's 5 Pillars and is relevant to the context of the article. External sources should be provided whenever possible, but of course, there are instances where unique corporate details that others may be interested in knowing are not known externally. Please consider the flow of the entire article when making edits to the page. Dpro34 (talk) 11:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Another source 

message: I noticed half the history section was missing, and at first I was going to ask what are you are doing with such massive deletions.  Then I checked and there appear to be better sources out there, like this one, that also credit Seelig as the original founder and Skaggs as the man who was brought in to bolt his his chain onto Safeway and then take charge and supercharge its operations.  I don't have the time to go through those sources right now, though. Coolcaesar (talk) 00:05, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
