SUPERMARKET chain Safeway is to create 12,000 jobs at stores nationwide.
The full-time and part-time posts will add to its 90,000-strong workforce.
The announcement came as Safeway continued to press ahead with the upgrading of one-third of its 480 stores within the next year.
The jobs drive is part of Safeway's ongoing revamp under chief executive Carlos Criado-Perez.
Last month, Safeway revealed its annual profits rose 33 per cent.
