Ellensburg Safeway on list to sell
The Ellensburg Safeway would be sold to C&S Wholesale Grocers if the merger of Kroger, the owner of Fred Meyer, and Albertsons, which owns Safeway, is allowed to proceed. The list of 124 stores that would be sold as part of the $25 billion merger was released on Tuesday. C&S is based in New Hampshire. The Cle Elum Safeway would not be sold as part of the merger.
