The last remaining Safeway stores in Florida have been gobbled up by Publix Super Markets Inc.
The Lakeland-based grocer said Thursday that it has acquired the Safeway stores in Largo, Altamonte Springs near Orlando and Oakland Park near Fort Lauderdale.
The stores were Albertsons until 2016. Safeway and Albertsons merged in 2015, and the three remaining Albertsons in Florida were converted to Safeways after multi-million dollar renovations.
