In 2014, as a condition of Sobeys purchasing Canada Safeway, Sobeys was required to sell 23 stores across Canada (a mixture of Sobeys's stores and Safeway stores) to competitors. In Saskatoon, the Safeway store located at 3310 8th Street East was ordered to be sold, and was eventually sold to Federated Co-operatives Ltd., which operates Saskatoon Co-op stores. This store, however, is located at 2510 8th Street East, and will close June 14, 2014. This store has gone through numerous outside cosmetic changes over the years. The store is leased and the stores attached to the Co-op store will remain open when the Co-op store closes. The board decided to close this store because it was not economically feasible to upgrade the store to them. A store across town located on 33rd Street West is currently undergoing renovations and the west entrance is already largely demolished, and I will take picture(s) of those doors soon, if they still remain in their present position when I drop by.
In 2013, Sobeys agreed to acquire Canada Safeway. In order for the takeover to proceed, the Competition Bureau of Canada ordered that Sobeys sell 23 stores, including both Sobeys and Safeway banner stores. Out of these 23, one Safeway store at The Centre was on that list. On May 12, 2014, the Safeway store closed and the transformation into a Saskatoon Co-op store began, as Federated Cooperatives Ltd. acquired the store in Saskatoon.
The store re-opened as a Co-op store on May 14. The store initially closed as a Safeway store on May 12, 2014. Within 36 hours, a transformation was given... but most items are still in their original places.
This store is located at 3310 8th Street East and is located not far from existent store in Greystone Heights located at 2507 8th Street East. It was recently announced that the older store will close.
The Sobeys store at Varsity Common in Saskatoon is undergoing a "refresh." This store is not the oldest in Saskatoon, so it was interesting to see. Here is a picture of the store's original main entrance. During renovations, one of the sets of exit doors have been relocated to a temporary entrance. Meanwhile, only one set of doors remain.
B.T.O. finished off the night with a rocking time playing their own music, plus music from the Guess Who and a final jam session playing music from other bands where the audience sing-along in a arousing way!
Since its original opening, the Saskatoon Co-op store at 402 Ludlow Street in Saskatoon has used automatic doors from Stanley Access Technologies and remained the only store to do so until the co-op bought the Safeway store at 3310 8th Street East after Sobeys was required to divest 23 stores in its acquisition of Canada Safeway. Here, new doors from Ditec Entromatic have been installed. The doors were wider than the original doors and adjustments had to be made for them to fit.

Sobeys came to Rethink with an assignment to create a new grocery store brand that was discount, but better. They wanted a value brand that inspired shoppers; one that focused on value rather than price. Rethink came up with the name FreshCo and designed everything to match.

The Sobeys store in Saskatoon at Varsity Common is undergoing renovations, and it's not clear whether it will be turned into a Sobeys extra store. The main entrance to the store has been cordoned off and no longer accessible. The doors that constituted the exit from the store into the lobby/foyer has been relocated and now serves as a temporary exit/entrance.

The Sobeys store located at 1550 8th Street East is being expanded, along with some major renovations. Coincidentally, a Save-On-Foods store will be constructed across the street where a Safeway store used to stand. In case you forgot, Canada Safeway has been owned by their parent company, Empire. For me, I am excited by the new Nabco doors.

St. Mellion Golf Club's 2017 Lady Captain's Day was hosted by this year's Lady Captain Pam Hughes. A full entry kept Pam and her band of helpers extremely busy. Checking everyone in was this year's Vice Captain Glennis Wootton and Press Officer Wendy Phillips. And to keep all those golfers going Pam's partner Stan Serwata, Pam's daughter Sally and granddaughters Millie & Izzy were on hand to dish out free drinks and snacks at the Halfway House. The weather forecast was not good but after a coolish start the sun shone and it turned out to be a very pleasant day. After the golf the ladies enjoyed sandwiches and cream tea in the St. Piran Suite followed by presentation of prizes. Well done Pam, a really nice day.

Since the acquisition of Canada Safeway by Sobeys in 2013, the existing Safeway stores have gone in a new direction. With a new store opening to replace an existing one at the Lawson Heights Mall, this will remain the most outdated location.
There has been talk about updating this location for years, but that has yet to occur.

friday i purposefully gave myself a small shipping list so i could be done early. i hadn't quite specifically asked to leave early, i had to wait to see if it was feasible first. the whole day went so easy, so smooth. wes & maggie were in town, and it looked like i would be finished with just enough time to meet them. i knew the pier they were at, so finding them would be relatively easy. he had to take the can to bedford, which that pier closed at 5. just as wes called me to say "ok come meet me, like, right now", shit hit the fan at work. exploded everywhere.
i couldn't leave. he couldn't wait.
one simple mistake is all it was. one simple mistake i didn't make, but i should have caught. i should have seen it. when trouble started brewing an hour earlier, i should have looked closer.
i finally got out just after 5. i called wes anyway, just in case he was able to come back. it would have added an extra hour of driving time, so it was totally out of the question. those big trucks burn a lot of gas.
wes made a couple of calls to see if anyone was in my area. by the time i got home, it appeared to be hopeless.
i was defeated. the weight of every terrible thing that happened at work for the whole week came crashing down on me. i just sort of curled up on my bed and shut down.
i wallowed for about half an hour then i kicked myself in the ass and said WTF ARE YOU DOING! GET ON TOP OF THIS SHIT! there's a goddamn shitshow to attend!
so i came up with a plan! what seemed to be my only hope..
alex & nancy were leaving pei late. it was out of the question to drive all the way into halifax, that would just be ridiculous at the hour they'd be going by. BUT! what if i went to lower sackville, which i could get to just off the main highway. it would add maybe 5 minutes. IF my mapping was right, which, it very well could have been way off.
so i called to see. which is a damn good thing cause alex had left a message with wes with a phone number for me. leo (traveling with alex & nancy) had a friend in halifax who was coming, too. they weren't sure if she was still in town or not, but knew she'd be leaving late. so i called.
no answer.
but.. just as i was leaving a frantic message, she called me BACK! after a bit of confusion, it all got sorted out and we got in contact with each other. she was in dartmouth, JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE and would LOVE the company. she said she was quite happy with coming into halifax to get me.
so by about 7:45 or so, there was a car waiting for me outside.
she's not familiar with driving in halifax, neither was i. a few turns we shouldn't have made, a stop at the liquor store for some stock, and a drive right into bedford, we decided to stop for some directions. we were indeed on the right track, but there was probably a better way that we missed way back...
we got there after 9 to a fire in the stove, and lovely people gathered around. many hijinx, including: "brownies", and climbing a tree house and sitting on the deck of it, staying up till 5, hardly sleeping, and almost missing breakfast.
then... neil young...
