Safeway Part 59 – Lock the Doors, Fire up the Bulldozer

September 18, 2010

I made it a point to be in Safeway at 5pm tonight and heard the announcement, "the store is now closed, please bring your purchases to the check-out". Regular readers of this blog know that it doesn't take much to make me nostalgic about an older B'game building that is about to be torn down. THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM THIS AFTERNOON. I've probably shopped in Safeway twice a week for the last 20 years and all I can say is "good riddance". I'm ready for the new store.

Here's hoping a long B'game tradition will improve—how could it not???

Thank you for the photos. I agree 100 percent. It’s time for a new store and the long process has gotten us to a better place than we would have been if Safeway had gotten everything it wanteda t the start.

Yesterday I made my first foray down to the Safeway at 19th Ave. in San Mateo. I had been in the store before for one or two items, but never with a full shopping list in hand. Saw a couple of other B’gamers there trying to navigate a new layout. Aside from the store being a reverse layout from our old store, it was manageable. I hope our new product section is better designed than San Mateo’s, but the new meat and fish counter will be a welcome change!
