Safeway continued to be sacramento’s dominant chain throughout the 1970s, but with some significant changes among its locations While the branches on j street and franklin boulevard had been open for more than thirty years, both were now doing business in new and modern buildings, and both closed late in the decade. Safeway crossed the $2 billion national sales mark in 1957, with 1958 stores in operation Robert magowan succeeded ling warren as safeway’s president in 1955, much to the relief of many store managers who believed that 20 years was enough and that warren’s ideas were wearing thin.

In january, 1941, the dc stores, most of which had operated under the sanitary and piggly wiggly banners, adopted the safeway nameplate, ending the last of safeway’s multiple brands following the mergers of the 1930s. Safeway was perhaps somewhat conservative in the move to supermarkets A&p closed or consolidated more than half its 15000 stores during the 1930s, while safeway’s store count dropped by only about a quarter The first safeway supermarket units were also somewhat smaller than those of some competitors.
