Aside from the fact that Mormons shop at Walgreens, no.
Contrary to popular belief, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is NOT connected to a large number of multi-national corporations. (actually, it's not connected to any...) Their only corporate connections are with a few companies in the western United States. These are:
Deseret Book (a religious book and gift store)
Bonneville International (a newsmedia outlet)
Temple Square Hospitality (cafes and reception centers in Salt Lake City)
Deseret Management (manages a handful of apartments and office buildings in Salt Lake City)
Beneficial Life Insurance

∙ 12y agoNo. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has absolutely nothing to do with Safeway or any other grocery store.

∙ 11y agoNo. Safeway is a publically traded company - meaning it is owned by shareholders. Some of the individual shareholders may be Mormons, but the majority is certainly not. Safeway was not founded by Mormons, nor is it affiliated with the Mormon church in any way.

∙ 11y agoNo. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has never owned or operated a grocery chain. The closest thing to a grocery store that is operated by the Church is called the 'Bishops Storehouse', it is a mix between afood pantry anda grocery store. The items at the Bishop's Storehouseare only distributed to those in need who have been referred by a Mormon Bishop.
While the church doesn't own a grocery chain, this doesn't mean that members of the church haven't or can't own a grocery chain. However, this does not equate to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints owning a grocery chain.
An example of a member of the church owning a grocery chain is the food chain Smith's which started in Brigham City, Utah and was owned by Lorenzo J. Smith and by his Son Dee Smith, who was a great nephew of Joseph Smith Jr.
