How to go into business with Safeway

Our Local Program allows local suppliers to grow at a sustainable pace within our network of stores.  You can start out in less than five stores and work with our team to grow.

Local Program Requirements:

  • Your products are made right here in Canada.

  • You are locally producing items that will wow and excite our customers.

  • Your products are regionally relevant in a local market.

  • Your product is packaged and ready to be sold.

If you fit this criteria, we want to know more!

Supplier Diversity

At Safeway, our goal is to support diverse-owned businesses and ensure we reflect the communities in which we serve.  Through our Local Program, diverse-owned businesses will have access to listing opportunities, resources, and mentorship in effort to help them thrive.

We define “diverse-owned” as businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by one or more members of the following communities: 2SLGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, Persons with Disabilities, Women and Visible Minorities.  Diverse-owed businesses are encouraged to reach out as we believe that inclusion is essential for an authentic marketplace, inspires innovation, and helps benefit the communities we serve.

Safeway is a proud corporate member of these Canadian supplier diversity certifying agencies:
