@K9Iyce You are lucky.  Safeway is much-missed here in the UK

Is this the same Safeway that is in the US and Western Canada?

[TheMeakers]

Yes it is, or was. Safeway no longer exists in the UK.  Safeway Stores, Inc set up Safeway Food Stores Ltd in London in 1962.

Great stuff. The company name was legendry. A Great company to work for and had many years within it. It was better in the days of american ownership. A tragic day when Morrisons bought it and finally the Safeway name vanished for ever. Also that jingle dates back to about 1981 1982. Ex Transport Department Employee Aylesford Kent.

I'm glad I got to see the Safeway in Inverness when I went over in 2003.

I remember the Safeways on Shambles Square in Manchester. It was mighty handy for groceries on the way home from where I used to work... then, after the IRA bomb in 1996, it disappeared like the rest of my favourite haunts that made working in town worth the long journey in on the bus.

Such a store it was, replaced by Tesco where I lived. BRING BACK SAFEWAYS! TESCOS ARE RUBBISH!

I worked at the stratford on avon store and hated it. They sent in mystery shoppers to deliberately wind up the staff to get a reaction then discipline you !

Also I got into trouble for accepting a 50p tip from a (mystery) customer after pushing her shopping trolley to her car through snow and ice covered streets.

Key Markets on the other hand were fantastic to work for but were sadly bought out by Gateway who ruined the stores.
