There used to be a Safeway in the Brunswick precinct - which is what
Waitrose opens out onto, in the days when Safeway used to be quite
upmarket stocking stuff like black pumpernickel bread etc.


That was Safeway at its best - under American management, and with
only four or five stores in the whole of the UK. I used to shop at
the branch in Manchester. It was the largest delicatessen in the
north of England.

There were indeed superb when they were the American owned store. I used to
use one in Leeds in the late60s/ early 70s.
