Sobeys Phoenix

Post by retailfanmitchell019 »

Not sure if I should post this in the International or Southwest forum...
Sobeys apparently has an office in Phoenix. They might use that office for sourcing their produce.

Safeway has a corporate presence in Phoenix. I wonder if they sold this office to Sobey's along with their Canadian stores, or if Sobey's opened it themselves.

Given Safeway's offices, dairy, and distribution center are in Tempe and the Sobey's office is clear across the metro area in North Phoenix, it was probably opened by Sobey's.

Actually Safeway's accounting department (and I believe the SW Division offices for Albertsons and Safeway) are in North Phoenix in a rather large (nondescript) office complex about 3 miles away from the Sobeys office. It's technically one of the 3 corporate HQs of Albertsons Companies. However, the Sobeys building has nothing to do with the Safeway Canada sale.

It appears it is formally called Sobeys Produce Inc. I am surprised the office is not in California.
