Re: Really informative page on a former marina Safeway in North Omaha
Safeway's old Omaha division closed down entirely in 1982, which was several years before the KKR buyout (and less than a decade and a half since this particular location had closed) - https://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/02/18/Safeway-Stores-Inc-plans-to-close-68-stores-in/8633382856400/#:~:text=Safew...

Really informative page on a former marina Safeway in North Omaha
A long-form piece on the Safeway's three years (1965-1968) of attempting to operate a store in North Omaha - with a lot of wider historical context about the neighborhood's Black heritage and how redevelopment of the site has been a challenge for decades. https://northomahahistory.com/2022/10/10/a-h...

Sports Basement in SF Presidio - what grocery was here before?
I went to the Sports Basement sporting goods store a couple of days ago in the Presidio in San Francisco...and noticed lots of food-department labeling (i.e. Milk, Dairy) and a layout that unmistakeably used to be a grocery tsore! https://ir.4sqi.net/img/general/original/30332547_mvHx3SWLA3JZW_INldr...

Re: New location list: San Mateo County
Update on the former marina Safeway, later Pacific Super, at St. Francis Square in Daly City (1420 Southgate Avenue) -
Entire building has been demolished as of yesterday evening (3/15/23), as opposed to when the general shell was still up and gutted about 2 weeks previous.

Re: New location list: San Mateo County
Just saw on a mid-century modern group I'm in, a photo of the 1963-early 2010s marina Safeway in Millbrae when it first opened! (Got permission from the original image poster, Chris Rooney, to share this) I went here once in 2009 or 2010 when it was still a Marina, but with the opaque name panel on ...

Re: Calif. Mtn. Safeway Location?
I saw a couple of folks in this thread messaged me about the 1976 Safeway map (which I scanned back in my college years at UC Davis, as it was in their library). Not sure if it is anywhere, multiple moves and computers and years later.

Re: Safeway, 30 Chestnut Avenue, South San Francisco
With the planned Safeway rebuild at the Spruce/El Camino White Front site (which had a store from about 1987-2014), I'm wondering how much longer the Chestnut Avenue store will hang on. I hope it sticks around for a while more as it has done decent business for a long time and isn't really near any ...
