This Safeway is the go-to grocery stop in Ketchikan. The store is well-stocked with a good mix of fresh produce, bakery items, and everyday essentials. Prices can feel a bit higher compared to mainland stores, but that’s expected in Alaska. The deli and hot food section are handy if you want something quick, and the staff are generally friendly and helpful. Parking is straightforward, and the location on Tongass Ave makes it easy to reach whether you’re a local or just passing through on a cruise stop. It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable and convenient.

I was at the deli, and I think it was the manager; the way she spoke to an employee made me think she was a manager. I think her name is Girlie. But the way she was speaking to this employee made me ill. I have also overheard managers barking at employees for spending their break shopping. Is this the best Ketchikan can do? Girlie and other managers need training on how to supervise people. Girlie especially! Girlie is not a manager; she is a bully. Do better, Safeway!!
