THIS BECAME SAFEWAY

MacMarr store in Portland Oregon. MacMarr Stores was a chain of grocery stores that was eventually absorbed into Safeway in 1940. They were owned by Safeway in 1939, but still operated as MacMarr Stores. Charles Marr was prominent in 1920s that eventually spelled doom for small mom-and-pop stores. Marr accumulated chains of grocery stores under his company’s name, MacMarr. It was reported that when he merged with Safeway (1929-31), there were 396 stores in his chain throughout the western US.
