Posted by Jason B. on 11/1/2005, 12:45 am, in reply to "Washington DC Safeway map with photos" I did a voter registration drive at the "Social Safeway" on Wisconsin Avenue in 1992. I recall the parade of cars that pulled up to the entrance -- people tended to load their vehicles directly in front of the store. Some shoppers departed in taxi cabs. I recall a vehicle or two with dipomatic license plates. The Watergate Safeway was the main place that I shopped, perhaps the smallest Safeway store that I've been in. I recall that the Safeway Savings Club card was inaugurated in the Eastern Division (Washington, D.C. area) before it was used in the San Francisco area, where the chain's headquarters are located. I toured the Safeway private label ice cream plant in Capitol Heights, Md. in November 1994 for a school project. If I recall correctly, all of the Safeway yogurt in the Washington, D.C. area originated in Clackamas, Oregon. The pint-sized Safeway Select ice cream was produced in Denver. At the time, the Maryland Safeway ice cream plant produced ice cream mostly in boxes; California, in contrast, was a "round" container market. The Safeway Maryland plant produced Stop n' Shop (New England chain) private label ice cream. I also believe that Safeway also produced Nestle Crunch ice cream bars and Eskimo Pies under license agreements. --Previous Message--
