    Testimony of Karl Langhorst Director, Loss Prevention Randall’s /Tom Thumb a Safeway Company before the House Judiciary Committee Crime Subcommittee’s hearing “Organized Retail Theft: Fostering a Comprehensive Public-Private Response” October 25, 2007 10:00 a.m. 2141 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Testimony of Karl Langhorst Director, Loss Prevention Randall’s /Tom Thumb a Safeway Company before the House Judiciary Committee Crime Subcommittee October 25, 2007 Chairman Conyers, Chairman Scott, Congressmen Smith and Forbes, and members of the committee, good morning. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before the Crime Subcommittee today on the growing problem of organized retail crime. My name is Karl Langhorst, Director of Loss Prevention for Randall’s/Tom Thumb of Texas, a division of Safeway. Safeway Inc. is a Fortune 100 company and one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America. The company operates 1,738 stores in the United States and western Canada and had annual sales of $40.2 billion in 2006. I have been invited here to share with you our experience with the increasing problem of organized retail crime (ORC). Retailers have always had to deal with shoplifting as part of doing business, but let me be clear, ORC is not shoplifting. It is theft committed by professionals, in large volume, for resale. It is being committed against retailers of every type at an increasing rate. Safeway estimates a loss of $100 million dollars annually due to ORC. According to the FBI, the national estimate is between $15-30 billion annually. Let me describe for you how sophisticated and organized these enterprises are.

By: Rob Andrews Formatted: Font: 10 pt My contention is that many boards, CEOs, and leadership teams do not fully understand the business they’re in. 74% of acquisitions fail. 23% have a neutral effect, and a miniscule 3% actually result in increased enterprise value, principally due to a lack of understanding of the acquisition. Here is an article citing one perfect example: Jim Dudlicek, Editor-in-Chief of Stagnitomedia, the leading resource periodical for specialty, gourmet, and convenience retailing said it perfectly in an article published October 159, 2013:.

  • Nbc Bay Area Teams up with Safeway for “Help Us End Hunger” Food Drive on Saturday, November 21
    NBC BAY AREA TEAMS UP WITH SAFEWAY FOR “HELP US END HUNGER” FOOD DRIVE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21 SAN JOSE, CA – (November 2,2015) – NBC Bay Area is once again teaming up with Safeway Stores for a one-day food drive on Saturday, November 21, a collaboration of seven food banks serving over 780,000 local residents each month. The “Help Us End Hunger” food drive will take place at 156 Safeway locations throughout the Bay Area, making it easy for community members to participate and help feed their neighbors in need. “Despite the recovering economy, thousands of Bay Area residents still rely on their local food banks to put food on their tables each week. Our goal is to create awareness and provide our viewers an easy way to help out,” said Rich Cerussi, NBC Bay Area President and General Manager. “We thank the community for all of their support to make this drive so successful year after year.” “We thank NBC Bay Area and Safeway for bringing attention to the severity of local hunger and for creating a simple way for anyone in our community to help a family in need,” said Kathy Jackson, Second Harvest Food Bank CEO. “Bay Area Food Banks are feeding people in every neighborhood and through this drive you can donate to make a difference in the lives of people where you live.” For the last six years, NBC Bay Area has partnered with Safeway to help stock the shelves of local food banks. In addition to providing on-air promotion, the station will be enlisting hundreds of volunteers – including NBC Bay Area anchors and reporters helping at their own neighborhood Safeway Stores – on Saturday, November 21 to encourage shoppers to donate food items.
