Not affiliated with Safeway.
THE QUICK READ
Safeway's Tracy Distribution Center is a 1.8-million-square-foot cold storage warehouse that supplies roughly 290 Safeway stores across Northern California, Nevada, and Hawaii, moving groceries in and back out on a tight schedule. The plant holds about 83,000 pounds of ammonia, large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. Tracy sits in California's Central Valley, in a warehouse corridor that also holds several other big distribution hubs.

ABOUT SAFEWAY
Safeway traces to 1915, when Marion Barton Skaggs bought his father's small grocery store in American Falls, Idaho, and built it into a chain of hundreds of stores across the West. In 1926 his company merged with the Sam Seelig Company to form Safeway, Inc. It later grew through acquisitions including Vons, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and Carrs-Safeway. In January 2015, Albertsons, backed by Cerberus Capital Management, acquired Safeway for about $9.4 billion, combining the two chains into more than 2,200 stores. Safeway now operates as an Albertsons subsidiary with roughly 900 stores across the western and mid-Atlantic United States.
