SAFEWAY

Safeway faced a challenge. How could they launch new products and expand brand loyalty amidst the the marketing noise of its competitors. BRAINBOX had the answers. Safeway, one of America’s largest grocery store brands, was founded in 1926 and by 2011 had spread across 35 states. They had a strong brand history but were looking to expand  in the competitive grocery market. Growing millennial audiences placed high expectations on grocery stores by demanding fresh and healthy products at low prices. Trends also demonstrated that audiences were more willing than ever to switch retailers based on price point. How could Safeway stand out against rival brands? Could brand loyalty truly be cultivated, even among specific audience segments?
