I hope that continues to be an option. In my neighborhood, they finally changed the signage from a merger that happened a while ago. I now have two Safeways within a mile of my house with the next closest grocer being a high end store 4 miles away and a discount grocer 6 miles away.

I fully expect one or both of those stores to be absorbed by the Safeway/Albertsons/Kroger monolith in the next few years.
