This Safeway is a smaller one in Prince Rupert, BC, Canada. It's funny bc I didn't even know there's any Safeway in Canada. It's a short 5-10 minutes walk from the cruise port, and although the store was messy (!), I found the maple syrup I was looking for as souvenirs, so it was a fruitful shopping trip. They seem pretty short staffed though, it might be bc good workers seem to be hard to find. The strangest thing is they have this area in the front of the store next to the customer service desk where they are just throwing cardboard boxes they opened up and not organizing them or flattening them at all. What a mess. FYI for those who use Safeway's just for u coupons and app in the US, these don't seem to exist in Canada, they have a different system, not sure what it is though. read more

I was staying at the Crest Hotel which was just across from Safeway. It was perfect to be so close to a grocery store. I was in Prince Rupert for work and the place I am working at doesn't have any restaurants nearby and so having Safeway so conveniently close was just awesome. Prices were cheaper than Save On Foods. Options for groceries are very limited in Prince Rupert. Safeway is located very centralized just on the verge of downtown. Plenty of free parking here. read more

See all

Sooooo, let's preface this. Normally, when i lived in Van, really not a big Safeway fan. Found it grossly overpriced and not a huge fan of the produce. BUT when i'm on the road, access to a grocery store is key for me. I have certain dietary needs and prefer not to depend on restaurants for breakfast and snacks. So having a Safeway a block away from the hotel, with a Starbucks in it, was a huge bonus. I was able to pick up fruit, greek yoghurt and a good coffee first thing in the morning, plus stock up on snacks that i can keep in the mini fridge at the hotel. Were prices still high? Yup. But definitely cheaper than buying breakfast at the Crest resto. read more

Horrible service....first week here in prince Rupert. Only one Starbucks & it SUCKS. Charged me twice for a refill. I have a gold card they are free!!!!!!!! The stupid woman argued with me. Instead of a apology I was treated like a Bum or something . Finally she apologized & refunded the over charge. I have 8$ left on my card and that will be the end of my business with these people. Oh & the seats suck to. My advice stay away from this dump read more
