I may be wrong, but I believe Safeway and Albertsons used to be in many of the Homelands in the OKC metro? Safeway and Albertsons may have been crappy back in the 80s but if you visit their stores on the west coast, they are pushing for quality. Once Homeland moved in, their quality has continued to deteriorate. Getting grocery stores in inner city locations has always been tough. Most cities in the midwest have had issues pulling in grocery stores closer in.
