Marion Barton Skaggs
Marion Barton Skaggs (April 5, 1888 – May 8, 1976) was an American businessman and leading member of the Skaggs Family of retailers who expanded the predecessor of Safeway into a major supermarket chain. Career Skaggs was an advocate of the cash-and-carry system for grocery stores. His father, S.M. Skaggs, was a Baptist minister, and he was convinced that the prevailing system of credit increased prices since grocers and storekeepers had to wait to get paid and made the customers overly dependent on those grocers and storekeepers. His father established a store in American Falls, Idaho. He sold groceries for cash and passed the savings from not offering credit to customers in the form of lower prices. On August 15, 1915, Skaggs bought the store from his father for $1,088 (), and he continued the cash-and-carry business strategy helping him amass wealth and prominence in the grocery retailing industry.Ashcraft, Betty (April 24, 1963).Burley Store Springboard for Huge Safeway. ...
