This photo comes from an article talking about flood protection, using specific construction examples from Boulder:

Store looks like vintage early 70s look (several Washington, D.C. area stores have similar architecture)...anyone know if this location is still open?Safeway Building Boulder, Colorado
The Safeway building has a brick veneer exterior with a standing metal seam roof. All windows are located above the base flood elevation, which is approximately equal to the finished floor elevation. Therefore, flood shields only designed to protect only the doors. Flood velocities in the area are approximately 2 feet per second. The shields are equipped with a pneumatic watertight sealing system, and vary in size from 40 inches to 166 inches wide by 26 inches high. The shields are stored near the front of the store behind the shopping cart storage area where they are convenient in case of flooding. The 8 shields provided for the site were manufactured by the Presray Corporation for a total cost of $22,650 (1981).

Also on the topic of Colorado stores, found this photo from Denver:

2.12 Safeway (SW corner of 28th and Arapahoe) from the S side of Arapahoe
This store doesn't show up on Safeway's store locator so I'm thinking this was replaced with the other store in the 80205 area code...signage looks like it dates back to the 70s, but the other photos in the collection on that site are mid-90s at earliest (judging from the cars in the parking lot).
Architecture looks very similar to this store (wonder if this is it, even):
