Safeway is a national grocery store chain with more than 1,300 locations across the U.S. It operates under the Albertsons umbrella company, which owns about a dozen other supermarkets that might sound familiar — Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, and Vons to name a few. Safeway delivers groceries through both their in-house service and a partnership with DoorDash.

Additionally, members of the Safeway FreshPass subscription service enjoy free delivery on orders of $30 or more. Safeway stores offer curbside pickup and lots of Safeway coupons you can use with your delivery order.
