Safeway Store at The Centre Sold
In 2013, Sobeys Inc. acquired Canada Safeway Ltd.. In order to approve the purchase, the Competition Bureau of Canada said that 23 stores (including Sobeys and Safeway stores) would have to be sold, which included this store at The Centre. On Thursday, February 13, 2014, Saskatoon-based Federated Co-operatives Ltd. agreed to buy 14 stores from Sobeys, including this store, which will eventually turn into a Co-op store. After hearing the news, I decided to take pictures of the store, as we know it won't be around for much longer. This marks the loss of another Safeway store, after it was announced that the store at 8th Street East and Cumberland Avenue South in the Cumberland Square shopping plaza will be closing this spring.
Fun fact: Sobeys supplies all Target stores in Canada with msot of their grocery offerings.
