are readily available from a wide variety of independent
suppliers.

Item 1. Business and Item 2. Properties (continued)

Financial Information About Industry Segments:

This information is omitted because the Company has no
significant lines of business or industry segments except
the principal business of operating retail supermarkets.

Trademarks:

The Company has invested significantly in the development
and protection of the "Safeway" name. The right to use the
"Safeway" name is considered to be an important asset.
Safeway also owns approximately 100 other trademarks
registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
including its product line names such as Lucerne, Bel-air,
TownHouse, and SELECT. Each trademark registration is for
an initial period of 20 years and is renewable for as long
as the use of the trademark continues. Safeway considers
certain of its trademarks to be of material importance to
its business and actively defends and enforces such
trademarks. Safeway has also registered certain of its
trademarks in Canada.

Working Capital:

At year-end 1993, working capital deficit was composed of
$1.5 billion of current assets and $1.7 billion of current
liabilities. Normal operating fluctuations in these
substantial balances can result in changes to cash flow from
operations presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows that are not necessarily indicative of long-term
operating trends; however, during 1993 Safeway significantly
increased cash flow from operations through improved working
capital management. There are no unusual industry practices
or requirements relating to working capital items.

Competition:

Food retailing is intensely competitive. The number of
competitors and the amount of competition experienced by
Safeway's stores vary by market area. The principal
competitive factors that affect the Company's business are
location, quality, service, price and consumer loyalty to
other brands and stores.

Local, regional, and national food chains as well as
independent food stores and markets comprise the principal
competition, although Safeway also faces substantial
competition from convenience stores, liquor retailers,
membership warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, and large-
scale drug and pharmaceutical chains. Safeway and its
competitors engage in price competition which, from time to
time, has adversely affected operating margins in many of
its markets.

Through year-end 1992, new store openings by competitors
with labor costs substantially below Safeway's were
threatening the Company's long-term viability in its
Alberta, Canada division. This competitive wage disparity
was significantly reduced during the first quarter of 1993,
when retail employees in the Alberta division approved a new
contract which reduced wages, established a gain-sharing
plan, and provided for a voluntary buyout program. Several
weeks before employees approved the new contract, Safeway
dramatically reduced prices in the Alberta division. The
savings that Safeway began realizing in the second quarter
of 1993 from the new labor contract were offset through the
third quarter by the increased training costs and reduced
productivity associated with the new employees. By the
fourth quarter, the Alberta division had improved
productivity.

Item 1. Business and Item 2. Properties (continued)

Compliance with Environmental Laws:

The Company's compliance with the federal, state, and local
provisions, which have been enacted or adopted regulating
the discharge of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has
not had and is not expected to have a material adverse
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position of the Company.

Employees:

At year-end 1993, the Company had approximately 105,900 full
and part-time employees. Approximately 90% of the Company's
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements
negotiated with local unions affiliated with one of 13
different international unions. There are approximately 575
such agreements, typically having three-year terms, with
some agreements having terms up to five years. The Company
renegotiates a significant number of these agreements every
year. While the Company believes that its relationship with
its employees is good, work stoppages that could result from
failure to renew contracts covering a significant number of
employees could have an adverse effect on Safeway's
operations.

Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
and Export Sales:

Note K to the consolidated financial statements, included on
page 35 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders
and incorporated herein by this reference, contains financial
information by geographic area. At year-end 1993, the Company's
foreign operations were composed of retail grocery, manufacturing,
and wholesale operations in Canada and a 49% equity investment
in Casa Ley, S.A. de C.V. ("Casa Ley"), a Mexican company. Other
than the competitive nature of the retail food business, the Company
is not aware of anyother significant risks of operating in these
foreign countries.

Casa Ley had total assets of $365.5 million and $294.5
million as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively,
based on financial information provided by Casa Ley.
According to Casa Ley's financial statements, sales and net
income were $925.8 million and $39.5 million, respectively,
for the 12 months ended September 30, 1993, and $752.7
million and $33.8 million for the 12 months ended September
30, 1992.

Terms of Outstanding Indebtedness:

Information appearing in Note B to the consolidated
financial statements on pages 25 through 27 of the Company's
1993 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by
this reference.

The following description of the Bank Credit Agreement and
the Working Capital Credit Agreement (the "Bank Agreements")
and the indentures related to the 9.35% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 1999, the 9.65% Senior Subordinated Debentures due
2004, the 9.875% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2007 and
the 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 (collectively,
the "Notes and Debentures"), the 9.30% Senior Secured
Debentures due 2007 (the "9.30% Senior Debentures") and the
10% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "10% Senior Notes") does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Bank Agreements and such
indentures, which have been filed with the Commission.
Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
definitive agreements and instruments governing such
indebtedness.

Negative covenants contained in the Bank Agreements prohibit
the Company from paying cash dividends on its capital stock
and restrict the ability of the Company and, in some cases,
its subsidiaries, to, among other things: (i) incur debt,
(ii) incur liens, (iii) make investments or enter into joint
ventures, (iv) incur or create contingent obligations, (v)
make distributions on or redemptions of its capital stock,
(vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) prepay or repay
subordinated indebtedness, including the Notes and the
Debentures, (viii) make certain fundamental changes in
corporate structure or business activities including certain
mergers or consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions, or
disposing of material amounts of assets other than in the
ordinary course of business, (ix) incur obligations as
lessee with respect to the lease of any property, (x) become
liable in sale and leaseback transactions, (xi) sell or
discount receivables, (xii) enter into certain transactions
with shareholders and affiliates, (xiii) dispose of
subsidiary equity securities, (xiv) engage in unrelated
business activities, (xv) amend or modify the documents
governing subordinated indebtedness, and (xvi) engage in
transactions or fail to make payments which result in
penalties under ERISA.

In addition, the Bank Agreements require that the Company
meet specific financial ratio tests, including a ratio of
consolidated cash flow available for fixed charges to
consolidated fixed charges and a ratio of consolidated total
debt to consolidated capitalization.

The indentures related to the Notes and the Debentures
restrict the ability of the Company, and in some cases, its
subsidiaries, to, among other things: (i) pay cash
dividends or make other distributions on or redemptions of
its capital stock, (ii) incur debt, (iii) incur liens, (iv)
enter into transactions with stockholders and affiliates,
and (v) consolidate, merge or dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets. In particular, the
indentures limit the ability of the Company to incur debt in
certain circumstances, unless the Company meets a specified
consolidated fixed charge ratio.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

caption "Legal Matters" as reported in Note H to the

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters

The Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, is listed on
the New York Stock Exchange. Information as to quarterly
sales prices for the Company's common stock appears in Note
L to the consolidated financial statements on page 36 of the
Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders and is
incorporated herein by this reference. There were 4,833
stockholders of record as of March 15, 1994, however,
approximately 34% of the Company's outstanding stock is held
in "street name" by depositories or nominees on behalf of
beneficial holders. The price per share of common stock was
$24.625 as of the close of business on March 15, 1994.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends
if, as, and when declared by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor, subject to the dividend
and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may be
issued and subject to the dividend restrictions in the Bank
Agreements and the indentures relating to the Notes and
Debentures. The Bank Agreements provide that the Company
may not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution
with respect to its common stock (other than dividends or
distributions payable in its common stock). Under the
indentures relating to the Notes and Debentures and the
9.30% Senior Debentures, the Company may declare or pay
dividends or make distributions with respect to its common
stock (other than dividends or distributions payable in its
common stock) if at the time of such payment or distribution
(i) no default or event of default under such indentures
shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) certain
aggregate payment limitations set forth in such indentures
shall have been satisfied provided that the foregoing is not
violated by the payment of dividends up to 6% per annum of
the net proceeds received by the Company in the initial
public offering and in any subsequent public offerings of
Common Stock. Net proceeds from the 1990 initial public
offering and the 1991 public offering of Common Stock were
approximately $120 million and $340 million, respectively.
The Company has not paid dividends on common stock through
1993 and has no current plans for dividend payments.
