PROFILE |
 |
Carr-Gottstein Foods could sell ice to the Eskimos ... and it does. Alaska's largest grocery retailer operates about 50 stores, including Carrs Quality Centers, which sell food, general, and drugstore merchandise, as well as its smaller food stores in more rural areas under the Eagle Quality Centers name and other trade names. Carr-Gottstein also runs Oaken Keg Spirit Shops (wine and liquor stores), mostly adjacent to Carrs stores, and The Great Alaska Tobacco Company stores. Carr-Gottstein operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Safeway, one of the largest grocery retailers in North America.
