Found these recently while browsing the Washington Post archives I found some nice 1950s and 1960s grand opening ads as well, if anyone is interested). There was a whole series of "pardon us while we change our name" ads when the name change occurred (about ten years after the actual merger). Afterward, the stores apparently used "your neighborhood sanitary store" as a slogan for a while:
Sanitary/Safeway Name Change Ads from 1941
