Safeway Shoppers Hit by E-Mail Hoax
Aug 14 2000 05:38 AM PDT

 PROFILE
The UK's #4 grocery retailer, Safeway owns and operates some 500 supermarkets in England and Scotland. Safeway works to attract shoppers to its upmarket stores by featuring loss-leader promotional sales; some stores also feature coffee shops, dry cleaning, pharmacies, and banks (through an alliance with Abbey National). To help speed shopping, the company, once part of the US Safeway chain, has introduced such options as phone and fax grocery orders and a customer self-scan checkout system. Safeway and BP Amoco have teamed up to open mini-market/gas station outlets. A joint venture with Fitzwilton Plc operates the Safeway Stores chain in Northern Ireland.
