The company behind the Sobeys grocery chain has written down the value of its western business, primarily the Safeway chain, resulting in a loss of $1.36 billion in its latest quarter. Empire says the loss was largely due to a recognition that the long-term value of the Safeway business is lower than previously estimated.
