They say they will price-match any flyer you show them from another supermarket with a lower price. 

They also promise to refund you and replace your product "if you're not completely satisfied."

Finally, they will give you a rain check coupon for 10% off if you can't find a product they've advertised during the current flyer week. 

As for the Safeway locations, "Closures of the respective Safeway stores will start in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and open as FreshCo stores starting at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022," says the press release.
