I wonder if they aggregate up to parent company. Carrs is very popular in the PNW and it's owned by Safeway. Same might go for some of the others.

If they do that, it's not done consistently, as many of these are subsidiary brands of larger corporations:
Albertsons = Safeway = ACME = Jewel-Osco Kroger = Fry's = King Soopers = Dillons = Harris Teeter (Ahold Delhaize) = Giant = Food Lion = Stop & Shop = Hannaford

OK, I think what happened though, in the case of Safeway in particular, is that it bought out the most popular chain of stores and eventually changed the name.

Yeah, most of these have been "centralized" through M&A.
