The Trends 100

For the eighth year in a row, Carr Gottstein Foods claimed the top spot on the list of largest Alaska employers for 1998. This will be Carrs' last year at the top because its recent buyout by Safeway will mean all operations will move under the Safeway corporate umbrella. This practically insures that Safeway Stores, ranked 10th in 1998, will move to number one in 1999.
