Denver Milk Plant
Not affiliated with Safeway.
THE QUICK READ
Safeway's Denver dairy plant turns raw milk into half and half, coffee cream, cottage cheese, cultured and sour cream products, and eggnog, running product through a rotary filler and two carton lines. Techs here keep the plant's pasteurizing and refrigeration gear running so the fillers stay stocked. The plant holds roughly 12,000 pounds of ammonia — large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds.

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.
