    Store closing going out of business February 19th. And the website plus when I called into the store it says that they close at midnight tonight January 6,2026 I'm at the store yet it is only 8:30 p.m. and the store is already closed shouldn't you guys update your phone or even put something on the doors what time you guys are going to be closing instead of having all these people come over here try to get in and the doors are locked.

    I am very happy that they're closing in February, I bought some cheese today and it was moldy. The date was for March and yet it's green? Yeah never again. Goodbye Safeway

    The Safeway is very close to my place and very convenient. The staff is all right, Don’t give you trouble. The food is usually fresh, but sometime can be a bit questionable. This is a acceptable Safeway all in all.

    Because the store is closing in January its like no one there cares about the customers. Except for the floral department. I think her name it Patty. She was amazing and help me pick out flowers for a beautiful arrangement for our Christmas dinner.

    I walked to the store with my service dogs, I’ve never been told I couldn’t put them in a cart. I told the security guard I won’t bring them next time and I’ll be out real fast. He proceeded to follow me at the whole store and I didn’t realize until I was leaving and he said I have you on camera you can’t come here anymore….so when did Safeway say ahead of time we have body cams and will follow you without your consent or knowing….they wouldn’t erase the video after I found out he was following me because I had my service dogs. Totally uncomfortable being stalked with a camera for having a disability and need my service dogs with me
