Albertson's Merger

The FTC approved the merger on January 27th 2015 followed by the merger finalizing completely on January 30th 2015. Safeway was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and is now a privately held company. The new company agreed to sell 168 stores for the FTC approval.

The drop down for Safeway, Inc was changed to Albertsons Companies to reflect the merger, someone just needs to input Albertsons companies other info besides banners into the drop down. Also there should also be a differentiation between national banners (Albertsons & Safeway) and regional banners (others). — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Green Arrow1 (talk • contribs) 11:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pak 'n Save information

I came to this article looking for information on the Pak 'n Save that they're apparently operating in the area. I ended up not getting much information, and needing to add a citation to the little bit I did find. Furthermore, Pak'nSave barely acknowledges the presence of the U.S. based chain. That might be appropriate; I came here out of laziness and I'm inclined to leave out of laziness, so I have no idea of Pak 'n Save nee Brentwood deserves more than a passing reference. Seems like there's a lot more research work to do here for someone (probably not me). :-) -- RobLa (talk) 23:06, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to Indiana Safeway?

There used to be many locations all over Indiana. Now there are only five, and they are concentrated in Indianapolis. A few of them were named Preston's Safeway, though those locations have closed. I can't seem to find any history on these stores. I was always under the impression that they were once part of the national chain, but through mergers and sell offs, somehow are no longer affiliated with the national chain. But I have no sources to back up that assertion. The five remaining Indiana stores use this website: https://www.shopsafeways.com. These Safeway stores use a logo that was in use in the late 1980s. Not sure when that logo was first in use, or if the national Safeway chain has ever used that logo. - Cali, 73.146.110.137 (talk) 05:47, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 November 2022

The request to rename this article to Safeway has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Safeway Inc. → Safeway – The contemporary United States grocery chain is clearly the primary topic relative to defunct groceries of the same name in other countries and smaller companies with similar names. –CWenger (^ • @) 19:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Pageview analysis shows that the US grocery chain has a substantial lead in pageviews over the sum of other competing titles. Further, as the nom mentions, the other grocery chains are all defunct; when factoring them out, only the insurance group is still competing for the "Safeway" spelling, and it gets a tiny fraction of the US grocery chain's views. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 20:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, as an addendum – if this move goes through, the page currently titled Safeway will need to be moved to Safeway (disambiguation). ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 20:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing that out. Wasn't sure if this qualified as a multi-page move or if moving the disambiguation page is just assumed. –CWenger (^ • @) 20:07, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The fact that the other chains are all defunct means they'll unlikely to gain notability and the insurance group mostly markets under a natural disambiguator of "Safeway Insurance". So move this to the base name and current Safeway over the existing redirect of Safeway (disambiguation). Skynxnex (talk) 20:07, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I agree with User:Skynxnex's cogent analysis. Whenever any English speaker today refers to shopping at Safeway, they are nearly almost always referring to the U.S. Safeway (either because they live in the company's territory or they are or were visiting). --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:40, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
