==History==
In 1915, S.M. Skaggs, a Baptist minister, established a store in Idaho called Skaggs. He sold groceries for cash at the time of sale.https://www.mashed.com/723507/the-untold-truth-of-safeway When he decided he wanted to focus on his Baptist ministry, his son, Marion, purchased the grocery store from him for around $1,100.https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/oct/26/then-and-now-safeway-stores
After he created multiple stores in multiple states, his business was growing in popularity and revenue. In 1926, Charles E. Merrill, the founder of the Merrill Lynch brokerage firm, purchased the chain of W.R.H. Weldon, who wanted to exit retailing and focus on wholesale.
In 1926, Safeway merged with over 673 stores from Skaggs United Stores of both Idaho and California. On completion of the Skaggs/Safeway merger, Marion became the Chief Executive of the business.https://www.investors.com/news/management/leaders-and-success/marion-barton-skaggs-sparked-safeway-grocery-chains
