Yeah, Safeway has been shitty for a long time. I'm fortunate like you that we have a wealth of independent grocers and small ethnic markets that are so much better. They're also a fair bit cheaper too.

It is a subsidiary of Albertsons after being acquired by private equity investors led by Cerberus Capital Management in January 2015.

That explains a lot. Private equity kills everything it touches.

Agreed, but Safeway was shitty before 2015.

PE acquisition seems more like kindred spirits finding each other than something bad happening to Safeway.
