It was announced in the Sacramento Business Journal today that Cerebus, which bought and downsized Albertson’s, has reached a deal to buy Safeway in a $9B deal.. No details at this time about Redwood Coast implications. We will be following this story, believe me.
A Contra Costa Times story on the buyout with speculation on what may end up occurring:

Good link, Fred. I hope they do something about Safeway’s confusing “savings” programs with “My List”, “Coupons” etc. I never know what I’m paying until they ring it up. I do like their ready-made soups and their French bread.
