 I'm Bill Monroe. Chino Valley town officials addressed rumors regarding a potential closure of the Safeway store. If a proposed Kroger and Albertson's merger moves forward and CNS Wholesale buys the store on Highway 89, they retain the rights to use the Safeway name. Economic Development Manager Maggie Holmberg stated she doubts the name would change. Kroger and Albertson's representatives have indicated no stores will close due to the merger.
