Safeway Inc. built its first shop in American Falls, Idaho, in April 1915. Baptist clergyman S. M. Skaggs was opposed to “the growing evil of installment purchasing” at food stores and shops. He established Skaggs, a store where customers could select things from shelves and pay at the register. S.M.’s son, M.B. Skaggs, made an offer to acquire the store for $1088, which equates to $31500 in 2022. He launched a shop in Burley, Idaho, three years later. Skaggs expanded his business by running many firms in Idaho and Montana.
In 1926, M.B. Skaggs purchased a grocery business and a coffee firm. He dubbed them Skaggs Cash Store and Skaggs United locations and persuaded his five brothers to open 428 locations throughout ten states. Skaggs also merged his company with 322 Sam Seelig Company stores and changed the name to Safeway Inc. because he believed the chain would outlast him. Because it was cash and not credit, this was the “safe way” to buy groceries. A store bill would not put a family in debt, as many families did during the Great Depression.
Charles E. Merrill, the founder of Merrill Lynch, considered integrating West Coast grocery businesses in the fall of that year. He paid W.R.H. Weldon $1.5 million and 30,000 shares of the new firm for 322 Safeway locations. Skaggs agreed to take both positions. The Skaggs/Safeway merger elevated M.B. Skaggs to the position of CEO. Safeway entered the NYSE after two years. The supermarket industry was the first to use price by the pound, “sell by” dates on perishable foods, nutritional information, and parking lots in the 1930s. Safeway became the largest food store chain in the West following the merger. The corporation relocated from Reno, Nevada, to Oakland, California, in 1929, and then again in 1996, to Pleasanton, California.
The corporation had expanded to encompass Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, West Germany, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan before the year 2000. Growth, with the exception of the West Coast, did not work. Safeway considered selling in 2014, and Albertson’s offered a $9.4 billion bid. Albertsons added Safeway names on January 30, 2015. According to a merger agreement, Kroger is willing to pay $24.6 billion for Albertsons.
