Don’t let gun extremists force Safeway to back down
Attention Gun Sense Shoppers! Safeway – one of the country’s largest grocery chains – is asking shoppers to leave their guns at home. This important policy means they’ve created a safe shopping experience that we should all keep in mind when it comes to stocking up.
But now gun extremists are attacking the supermarket chain – all because of this common-sense policy.
Use this tool to automatically send a thank-you message to Safeway’s CEO for taking this important stand despite fierce opposition. The more of us who speak out, the more we’ll drown out the extremists coming after Safeway.
Thank you Safeway and Albertsons for considering the safety of your customers and employees!
When will Kroger get serious about the health and safety of their customers and employees?
Millions of Americans are getting ready for Super Bowl Sunday, and making sure there are plenty of snacks at the party is a solemn responsibility.
But so is protecting our families – and that’s why we’ll be skipping Kroger when we’re doing our Super Bowl party shopping this weekend. Kroger still refuses to prohibit customers from openly carrying guns in their stores, and that puts all shoppers at risk.
Until Kroger get’s off the sidelines, will you join us in shopping with team #GunSense?
Majority of Kroger Customers Want an End to Open Carry
After more than 300,000 petition signatures and nearly 13,000 phone calls demanding that the nation’s largest supermarket chain stop allowing the open carry of guns in its stores, a new poll conducted by Benenson Strategy Group released today shows 64 percent of Kroger shoppers polled believe people should not be able to openly carry guns in Kroger stores.
Despite this opposition to Kroger’s policy allowing open carry of firearms — and even though a majority of states allow people to openly carry firearms without a background check, training or permit — Kroger so far has sided with a small group of gun extremists and refused to change its policy.
While Kroger has not yet changed its open carry policy, in recent weeks, New Seasons Market, a chain of more than a dozen grocery stores located in Oregon and Washington, and Panera Bread recently joined other major brands, including Target, Starbucks, Chipotle, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Chili’s, in asking guests to leave their firearms at home.
Kroger claims to be a ‘Family of Stores,’ so where are their family values?
More than 300,000 supporters have asked Kroger leadership to end the open carry of guns in their stores.
Here are three of them.
So Kroger grocery stores allow people to carry loaded guns–but shirtless shoppers, outside food and skateboards aren’t allowed?
This is ridiculous
This weekend, let’s show Kroger that we mean business by doing our grocery shopping elsewhere.
