Safeway Stores

  • Produce at a Fairbanks Safeway store is shipped through the Port of Anchorage, like most foodstuffs consumed in Alaska. A vulnerable supply chain has consumer advocates worried a buy-out of Albertsons stores, which owns Safeway, by Kroger, which owns Fred Meyer, would weaken food security in the state.

    18 Safeway/Carrs stores in Alaska to be sold
    Robyne
    Alaska Safeway and Carrs stores will be sold to C&S Wholesalers if a divestiture plan goes through later this year. It’s part of a proposed $24.6 billion merger of Kroger and Albertsons companies, and includes turning both Fairbanks Safeway stores and one in North Pole into C&S groceries, while maintaining current job and wage levels.
