Safeway History – Page 3 – Groceteria. com Safeway History Last updated on 30 April 2025 The 1940s New prototype At the dawn of the 1940s, Safeway was operating hundreds of older units in taxpayer strips or on the first floors of apartment or commercial buildings, most of which were a fraction of the size of the new supermarkets that were opening around the country
