Safeway (also referred to as Canada Safeway) is a Canadian supermarket chain that operates 135 full-service locations, mostly in the country's Western provinces. It was established in 1929 as a subsidiary of the American Safeway chain before being sold in 2013 to Sobeys, a division of the conglomerate Empire Company and Canada's second-largest supermarket chain.[1] Though independent from the American company, it continues to use the Safeway name and logo as of May 2023.[2]
Safeway's headquarters are located in Calgary, Alberta. It is a participant in the voluntary Scanner Price Accuracy Code managed by the Retail Council of Canada.[3]
