Safeway was my favourite, love the logo. Most of them became Morrisons a good few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in a Safeway in San Francisco a few years back, its still a big chain there.
Some became Waitrose, mostly in the North of England.The Trickster On The Roof

Re: more supermarket memories....presto and grandways.
I recall Safeway and Prestos being big "back in the day" ... possibly they thought of themselves as slightly superior to Kwick save but I recall Presto was often a bit like Kwick Save and never bought into how they assumed themselves a better store than Kwick Save!
I recall in my then 9Home Town) around 1994 Safeway opened a massive Shop and they thought that they could take on Morrissons (especially with free Gimmicks) and they made a fairly decent job of it for a few months (in store) but soon then they fell back into the old Presto's style and didn't last!1

Re: more supermarket memories....presto and grandways.
Lo Cost was one supermarket that was going strong in the mid 1980s - some of them became Kwik Save (another one that has bit the dust).
Lo Cost was still going in around 1990 as we were looking after a relative's cats while she was off on holiday, and my mother kept popping into local shops asking "excuse me, do you sell cat food?" We got the cats some Best Ever Whiskas (hence the then advertising campaign), and I don't know what they put in the food, or whether the cats were following the advertising campaign back then, but they really enjoyed it!
And of course there was Fine Fare as well.
I am surprised that the Co-op is still going considering that it just caters for the elderly and trade unionists these days.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
