Lorenzo Hoopes (November 5, 1913 – September 21, 2012) spent much of his career as an executive for Safeway. When he retired in 1979 he was the senior vice president at Safeway. He took a leave of absence from Safeway in 1953, during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, to serve as executive assistant to United States Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. Hoopes returned to Safeway in 1955.
Hoopes grew up in Brigham City, Utah and graduated from Box Elder High School. He received a bachelor's degree from Weber State University and also studied at the University of Utah. He earned an MBA from Pepperdine University and did advanced management training at the Harvard Business School.
Hoopes was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

As of January 2010, Hoopes was head of the Paramount Theatre Board in Oakland, California. The Paramount Theatre is a public institution with a board that appoints new members, with the consent of the city council and mayor, but in the past the decisions of the board have always been upheld. Hoopes was believed to be the person in Oakland who donated the largest amount of money to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign, which caused some to seek to oust Hoopes from his unpaid volunteer position with the Paramount Theatre. He sat on the board of the theatre for nearly 30 years.
