Yeah I’ve followed the progression of Safeways and Giants in Arlington and they follow the same pattern, ever bigger stores from the 1920s to present. In the 20s and 30s Safeway was I think known in this area as its predecessor “The Sanitary Grocery Co.” (Big emphasis on chain grocery stores being “clean”, compared to mom and pops, I guess? The “You Won’t Find Mouse Droppings Here Grocery Store”?)
