I didn't know they released anything under a "Safeway" brand. I was under the impression Safeway has a series of house brands for different products and doesn't use "Safeway" as a brand name for anything they release, e.g. "Lucerne" is the house brand for Safeway dairy products.
The times I went to a Safeway when I was in Virginia the last few years, they wouldn't have had vodka anyway. In Virginia, only State Stores can sell anything stronger than Beer or Wine. Ben may remember this as it was the same thing in Montgomery County, Maryland where only county stores can sell anything above beer or wine, and they also sell beer (at room temperature only to encourage people not to drink in public).
The use of a house brand not the same as the name of the chain is common for a lot of chains. "Market Pantry" is Target's house brand for various food products. They sell a really tasty medium supreme pizza under the Market Pantry label for $2.99.
