Investopedia explains 'Carlos Criado-Perez'

Safeway hired Criado-Perez to turn the company around, which he accomplished by drawing in customers with deeply discounted items and catching competing supermarkets off guard. He also changed stores' merchandising tactics to make the shopping experience more pleasant for customers. However, the company was taken over in 2004 by smaller competitor William Morrison, a transaction in which the government prohibited Safeway's three larger rivals from bidding because of competition concerns.
