When there was that big merge of the Albertsons and Safeway, some of the
stores were converted to Haggen. They have now filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and apparently all sorts of problems. I didn't put up any links because there are so many. Layoffs, closures, and claims of them overcharging customers. They also apparently owe money to employees and suppliers. Not good. |

I guess it was a bad move to expand the way they did. Everyone wants a piece of the pie but the pie is only so big. Customers vote with their dollars. |

They just took over 2 or 3 Von's, I believe they were, as a similar merging/purging thing in OC, CA. The wife and I strolled through one of them, recently converted. It was a total morgue. I saw maybe 2 other people. One checker who stood with us and chatted for 5 minutes or so. Two weeks later I hear they've file for bankuptcy--I am still not even sure how to pronounce their name! |

I think I've been in there twice. Once was to use a coupon that gave me some dollar amount off if I spent so much. Even at that, there were no savings. I had a really hard time finding enough to buy to get me up to that amount. And it wasn't even food that I bought. I think it was some sort of cosmetics. I went the next time just to buy one thing. I had to stop in at the dance studio for recital tickets and was on my way from Winco from there. But I also had stuff to put in the food bank donation bin. I can't even remember what it was that I bought that day. Their sale prices aren't even enough to get me in there. Now I suppose if I were still going to the dance studio all the time, I might buy a few things. But I have no need to go there now and none are convenient to me. |

Only complaint I can remember besides the prices was that they used to use peanut slices soaked in almond flavoring on their baked goods. I doubt that they are still doing that now but they did do it when I was a kid. They were within walking distance of our house so that's where my mom sent us if we needed one or two things. But we rarely ever did a big grocery shop there. The ones I have been in recently were disappointing as was County Market. Far less selection and insanely high prices. I saw nothing there at all that I couldn't buy elsewhere. I think stores like Whole Foods can get away with the higher prices because they do sell unique things. They know that someone like me who is going there just to by Choco Higos might also pick up a couple of apples or onions or whatever else might be on my list. I still would never do a full grocery shop there, but if I do have a few other things that I need then I will usually just pick them up there instead of going to yet another store. |

Oh, two or three extra miles one way or the other. Orange County is a pretty dense area, so it's not like they have to go far. Still, location has always been a considerable salespoint of any grocery store. |

I had a Mazda van and liked it so much that we got a Mazda for my wife. When the time came to buy a new car I was keen to get another Mazda, but I learned that For had bought into Mazda. I had to wonder if Mazda had passed on its good practices to Ford or if Ford was going to drag Mazda down to its level. After my experiences with Ford I was not going to take a chance. |

It is certainly not close enough for me to go grocery shopping there. So whatever they have in Kirkland is rather meaningless to me. |

Quality of any store is very location specific. Yes. I did look to see online reviews. There are some for one Safeway. I don't know if they have more than one in Kirkland. Very mixed reviews. Complaints of things being out of stock, bad produce and clueless employees. Which is kind of how the ones are here. But then other people liked them. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a store. |

Quality of any store is very location specific. They are in the same general area close enough to have the same corporate management. I don't think she knows from up about Safeway's old reputation. There's quality and then there's the other stuff like not ringing up the stated marked down price aka overcharging. I've never had a problem with quality at Safeway but they were famous for playing monkey shines with the numbers. -- sf |

When I worked for K Mart, the stores in this area had the same corporate management and yet they were all different. |

Julie, it's obvious that you have zero clue what I'm talking about. Either you've never shopped at Safeway or you were totally oblivious to what they did and their well deserved reputation in that area. It doesn't matter anymore because the entire chain is under new corporate management, so time will tell if it's more of the same or not. -- sf |

I shopped at Safeway in CA, WA, Canada and probably some other states. The part that I don't understand is "program the system". Are you talking about the computer system? |
