Dow Jones Description

The Safeway Employee Stores at NorCal and Vons are dramatically expanding their services to better meet the needs of our stores, facilities and divisions of the Safeway organization. As a result, the two stores will take on the name Safeway Employee Store (SES). Through the addition of our new web site, we will now be able to make our services available to all 200,000 employees of the Safeway Companies. SES is a department within Safeway that encompasses the Optional Uniform Program, Safeway Corporate Catalog and the Employee Stores at NorCal and Vons. We carry uniforms, logo merchandise, awards, incentives and gift items. Our goal is to meet the purchasing needs of our employees, management and stockholders. Now you can make your purchase at the two store locations or online. For our employees and stockholders, we offer the opportunity to purchase logo merchandise and memorabilia that gives them the ability to show pride in the family of Safeway Companies. For our management team, there is no need to go outside the company to make those quantity purchases. We have established a relationship with suppliers that gives us the lowest price on all items. SES can make creative recommendations, supply samples, negotiate the best price, process all paperwork, create signage and handle the fulfillment process. To insure you are getting the best value for your dollar, each product we supply goes through a rigorous quality assurance inspection. ...

In January of 1981, Barbara Nelson started her successful career in commercial real estate in downtown Seattle. In the record time of just 4 years, Barbara leased three high-rise office buildings. In 1985, when the downtown Seattle office market faced a surplus of properties, she re-directed her focus. She became intrigued with the community shopping center industry and proceeded to build centers in Washington and Oregon, ranging in size from 120,000 square feet to 160,000 square feet. Anchor tenants of these centers include Safeway Marketplace, Fleming Foods, Hollywood Video, Associated Grocers and Ross Dress for Less. The experience gained in this complex and competitive market of commercial real estate, has proven extremely valuable. Barbara has since put together various real estate projects, all of which are also making a highly satisfactory Return On Investment for their owners. In 1993, Barbara founded the Woodinville, Washington-based ROI Commercial Real Estate, Inc. By selecting the right people she has built an unbeatable team of professionals. As a full-service brokerage house, ROI offers refreshing "no-nonsense" solutions to your real estate investment opportunities.
