Safeway led the Richmond grocery market from the 1960's to 1985, when it had 26.5% of the local grocery
market share (it had been as high as 30% in the early 1980's). It had entered the Richmond market as Sanitary Stores in the
1920's. In 1986, at the same time they were acquired by KKR in a leveraged buyout, Ukrop's passed them for the lead and their
share declined steadily down to 12% in 1993.
On December 12, 1993, Safeway exited the Richmond market, with 7 of their 13 remaining Richmond stores being
reopened the next day as The Grocery Store (Farm Fresh). Later, a few of the former Safeway locations passed to Hannaford
when they entered the market by buying several The Grocery Store locations, and these locations passed to Kroger when Hannaford
left the Richmond market.
