I hadn't realized Safeway and Albertsons merged. I used to shop at Safeway when I lived in Wyoming. No Safeways here (that I'm aware of anyway) but there are Albertsons in the far western part of the state.
Our town's Albertson's morphed into a Safeway with the merger.

Other than that though everything else is pretty much "Everywhere USA".
Cold Stone Creamery started here. Before they expanded, first location was in Tempe

Oldest existing McDonald's, which was the third store (pre-Ray Kroc) is in Downey, CA
