This was my neighborhood store for years, I mean back when it was located where Nordstrom is now. I always loved it, especially after their remodel 5 years ago when they expanded produce and added a fun wine bar. Then Albertsons bought it. They started by moving things around in a manor that made it look more common and tacky. Then lots of bright lighting was added making it look like a gas station. They took out the self check, so the wait is unbearable( at least with self check if there was a wait, it was the bozo who is unfamiliar with the checkout, without its just managements fault.) The Safeway Select brand started to go away and so did some of the products that were unique. Replaced with generic product. The flower section was moved into a corner, produce and meat declined in quality. It's just sad and stupid and never had to happen if they would have kept the winning Safeway formula. Better to shop at Basha's which is local than support this mediocre establishment. I hope Whole Foods buys them. The neighborhood deserves better!
