  The new Safeway in South San Francisco is absolutely beautiful. The store is bright, clean, spacious, and very well organized. The wide aisles and neatly stocked shelves make shopping enjoyable and easy. Everything feels fresh and modern, and the employees are friendly and helpful. Definitely a huge upgrade and a great addition to SSF!

  My favorite Safeway is the Millbrae one since there’s a Trader Joe’s there as well. But this one in SSF is like a carbon copy of that one (except this one doesn’t have a Starbucks). Everyone is friendly. Their selection is amazing. Parking isn’t so bad if you go early. Excited to see what else opens up here.

  This Safeway is brand new. The ground floor is parking, and the store is on the second floor. There is escalator from the parking lot. Very nice and clean. The ailes are wide and roomy. My Safeway member benefits work in there too.

  It's a brand new unit from Safeway and I have to say that IT IS AMAZING ! It is the biggest and the most spacious Safeway unit I have ever been to. Spanking new, workers are very professional and willing to assist you if you need. I walked through many of the spacious aisles and saw products I had never seen before in other markets! It also has a Pharmacy and an extensive Flower section. As now days you cashiers and a self-service cashier line if you prefer! Last but not the least the design of the unit is uncommon for the fact that it is on the top of parking lot that mostly open to the street view! The cherry on the top: the brand new supermarket is open until 2AM.

  Mostly good visit to the new Safeway. But there are still still things Safeway operations and management needs to hammer out. Such as,,,,,,,, on the front door going into the Safeway. They have a notification sign saying that you can recycle your cans and bottles here at the new Safeway, located at 190 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, CA 94080. Confirming the sign by. Attaching a picture to this review. But,,, when I went to the courtesy desk to ask them about recycling bottles and cans here at the new Safeway, they said that they don't do recycling here. And that no one in the store had given them any instructions or training on how to recycle bottles of cans. There are a few other things as well they need to smooth out here. Another example being The control panel for the elevators. Yes elevators. Not escalators. Go into one of the elevators and have a look at the control panel. The big giant Safeway logo is directly next to the floor labeled 1. Sorry, but that floor is for the parking of cars and trucks. And out in the other part of the lot. The charging of your electric vehicles at the new Tesla chargers. The actual Safeway store where you go and you buy your stuff is located on the second floor. Which is the top customer floor In the elevator labeled with a number 2. Also see my attached picture to this review. The meat case is fantastic. They've upped their game to the point where they're starting to catch up with meat case appearances in places like Pacific Market, Mollie Stones. But Safeway is not there yet. Even at this new store. Much better than other Safeways I've seen so far for the most part. They also sell gas grills. But unlike other Safeways, this new location do not have any Blue rhino cage out in front to buy bottles of propane. Or swap out your depleted bottle. Most of the people in the new location here are chipper and happy to help you out. Some of them appear to be just a little stressed from the new opening. But not much. They just want to do a good job. The new the new Safeway location is really easy to find. The new location also has lots of parking. Both covered, and in an open lot in the back. Pharmacy looks ready to go. Deli counter as well stocked and well presented. As is the rest of the deli section . The bakery also looks to be set up and well run. One very cool thing about the Safeway that I like a lot. Is the customer area for enjoying your food right in the store. There's a lot of tables and counter space. There are several gender neutral bathrooms right next to those tables. And there's some electrical outlets to charge your devices while you sit and consume you're ready to eat foods and coffee. Like most Safeways, you're not going to find everything here. It's a large safe way to be sure. But it's also set up to work well within the neighborhood that it's located in. So if you want a Safeway that has a larger selection you'll have to go over to the Safeway on Gellert. Despite the rough edges from a couple weeks after grand opening, I'm happy with this new Safeway. It did a great job in replacing the old Safeway. That's a couple miles away across from the South San Francisco Library. And I'm excited for what's in store for the future for this new Safeway location. Keep on going Safeway in this new location will be shined up to perfection in no time. I recommend everybody else stop by and have a look too. This review is written on on July 7th. 2026.
