Safeway_ReginaSK_Albert25th_4
Sobey's recently acquired the Canadian assets of Safeway. These shots were taken a few days before this store on Albert Street South in Regina was coverted virtually overnight into a Co-op supermarket. It was one of a handful of stores that were sold off by Sobey's as part of a regulatory decision. Before conversion it featured old 1950's-style checkout stands that used a rotary turtable design. The store interior was clean but not up to then-current Safeway standards. Alas, the vintage neon street sign was also lost, replaced by a generic looking Co-op sign.
