Preston-Safeway
Posted: 21 Oct 2006 04:54
Talking to Storewanderer online, the subject of the Indiana-area Preston-Safeway chain came up, and he said that it had been discussed on the old Groceteria board some time ago...apparently it was originally part of the larger Safeway chain, but was subsequently sold off well before the KKR buyout (1970s?) along with the continuing rights to use the name. Apparently they also had at least one marina store.
There are several locations out in Indianapolis, at least one in Fort Wayne, and probably others scattered across the state. Anyone have more information?
Here's some location addresses via Google, and live local shots to go with them - note the different Safeway letter font from anywhere else I've ever seen
