Not being a local, I was surprised to learn that the police trailers in the parking lot are security cameras. Inside the store some items (liquor and H&B) are in an seperate area with some items behind locks. I asked a staff member how long it had been like that and she commented 'something had to be done'. Between police cameras and locks; clearly a high theft area.
We do have a Safeway card as we come across these stores in our travels and with these prices, we want to save where ever we can. It surprises me this store is so busy with so many other less expensive store options within a few blocks. But I get it. You know where the items you want are located. It's on the way home. It's easy. I came in right? Something drew me in.
The store has all the departments - bakery, deli, meats, produce, frozen, etc. I gasped at the price of cold cuts. The sale prices are reasonable, so keep an eye on sale items and stock up.
All the staff we have encountered have been delightful. The store seems clean and is well stocked. The parking lot is crazy-stressful. read more
