Homeland (supermarket)
Homeland is a supermarket chain in the United States. Homeland is currently headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma. As of 2007[update], it operates around 50 supermarkets in Oklahoma and Kansas. Many Homeland supermarkets also include a pharmacy.
[edit] History
The company was formerly the Oklahoma division of Safeway, and it was spun off from Safeway in 1987.[1] The "Homeland" name was adopted in 1990.[2]
Homeland filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2002, at which point it was bought by and became a subsidiary of Associated Wholesale Grocers. The supermarkets still operate under the "Homeland" name.
In June 2007, Homeland purchased seven stores from the Albertsons grocery chain.[3]
On November 14, 2008, Homeland purchased five Williams Discount Food stores, formerly Albertsons. This purchase became official December 14, 2008.
