- GRgreen RITANov 15, 20255.0Clean, organized, and loaded with mainstream options. The associates are especially attentive and willing to research items of interest. Seems to be system wide shortage on frozen pineapple juice concentrate.
- BIBianca IngramNov 13, 20255.0I give the store 5stars, because today I had a instacart item that wasn't in stocked, but Sara from the bakery came and got it all together in 10mins. 💛🙏🔥🔥. Also thanks to her assistant this morning he was the one who explained what I needed. Keep up the good spirits and generosity #💯
- HMHampton McRaeNov 10, 20251.0Not so Safeway… Be careful shopping here. Def don’t shop after dark. People ODing outside, trash everywhere. People stealing food by eating while they are in the store. Food left out all over the place. Trash everywhere inside and out. Crazy crazy people in line who threaten your life when you’re just trying to buy ice cream.
- AWAlani WillisNov 6, 20255.0I love Jumara and Darnell at Starbucks! Very great people to have been waited on today! They both deserve a raise. That's how you perform great customer Service! Happy Holidays to All! From Alani N.e. dc
- KMKENDESI MEDIAOct 17, 20251.0I’ve been supporting this business for over 30 years. It was the first grocery store my mother took me to, and it has always held sentimental value for me. Unfortunately, my experience today was very disappointing. The young lady managing the front checkout registers seemed unwilling to help anyone. I was treated poorly, and what made it worse was that it happened in front of my son. After decades of loyalty, this was truly disheartening. I will no longer be spending my money here, and I sincerely hope the neighbors in our community think twice before doing so as well.
