SAFEWAY INC. 2002 ANNUAL REPORT 5
Consumers today are busier
than ever. We continue
to expand our assortment
of time-saving products
and services such as ready-
to-serve meals, gasoline,
online home shopping, in-
store banking and one-hour
photo processing.
We have prime store
locations in some
of North America’s
fastest-growing
regions.
Busy consumers like
the convenience
of having their
prescriptions filled
while they shop.
Our in-store delis offer a
wide selection of made-to-
order gourmet sandwiches for
busy shoppers seeking alter-
natives to restaurant meals.
In addition, we have a new
line of restaurant-quality
heat and serve soups.
Our online shopping and
home delivery services,
Safeway.com and Vons.com,
expanded into five new mar-
kets during 2002. For a
nominal fee, orders are filled
by trained personal shoppers
and delivered in tempera-
ture-controlled trucks.
We operate more than
200 fuel centers
adjacent to our stores.
With 1,289 in-store pharma-
cies at year-end 2002, we
ranked among the 10 largest
drug retailers in North
America. Our pharmacists
take the time to make each
customer feel welcome and
well informed about pre-
scribed medications.
