The supermarket chain known as Safeway began in 1915, when M.B. Skaggs bought a small grocery store from his father in his hometown. Eleven years later, he had over 400 “Skaggs” stores in 10 states. Also in 1926 he merged his business with another company, giving birth to Safeway, Inc.
Today Safeway has more than a thousand stores in the United States alone, as well as a presence in Australia, Canada, and the UK, to name but a few. They have expanded from being merely a grocery to having pharmacies and gas stations too. They have their own line of signature brands that range from dairy products, to ready-to-eat meals, even to pet care and cleaning products. They even offer grocery delivery!
Safeway states on its website that their store philosophy has always been “offering customers the products they wanted to buy at a fair price, with lots of tender, loving care”. With this in mind, it only makes sense that they would eventually offer catering to their customers too.

How to order from Safeway catering
Go to Safeway’s website and look for their page on catering under Services. The page will provide with a number that will put you in touch with one of their Catering Experts. Unfortunately, ordering online is not yet available.
Be sure to order at least 24 hours ahead to give Safeway enough time to prepare all your food, especially if it’s a larger than normal order. In fact, maybe ordering 2 days ahead would be wise.
They don’t have a catering menu posted on their official website, but taking a look at their deli menu will give you an idea of what can be ordered. Alternatively, searching “Safeway catering menu” on Google will bring up a complete listing of the items and their prices.
Safeway Catering Reviews
For medium to large groups, Safeway catering would be a great choice as their pricing runs rather cheap compared to stores with similar offerings. Their food selections are particularly great for outdoor parties in the summer because of their light and fresh nature.
You can choose to either have your food delivered to your location, or pick it up from the Safeway nearest you.
