Be happy to have a choice. Kroger has a monopoly in our city, unless you want to drive half an hour to WalMart.
Safeway gobbled up Albertsons ten years ago. Our Albertsons operated under that name until earlier this year when they remodeled and changed the store sign to “Safeway.” Now we have two Safeway stores about two miles apart. I like Safeway a lot. We rotate between the Safeway stores, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, and the two local stores Pilgrim’s Market and Super-One Foods. All are good.
