Safeway bought the family run kick-a** chain of Genuardi’s supermarkets in the SE PA area. They brought in the Safeway shirt brands in, their management, sales, and semi-destroyed the business.
It was so bad it made front page of the business section of the Stinky Inky (Phila Inquirer) and they promised to do better.
Hasn’t happened, I’ve never seen the store I visit most often packed like it was before the takeover.
Think 17 cashiers and baggers with customers 5-6 deep waiting to check out at peak hours. Never seen that since.
That would never happen at Wegmans.
clean, well-run, great selection, helpful employees
