| - I live in Riverbend, therefore this is my neighborhood safeway.
I am the first to admit that compared to other safeways, this one is in desperate need of a renovation. However, despite that, this Safeway is extremely functional and has never let me down.
In the surrounding area of Riverbend, there are three choices to shop. Safeway, Sobeys and as of lately, Co-op in Quarry Park. If we want to stretch our legs a little, we also have SuperStore, Wal-Mart and SuperStore in Heritage Meadows. That my friend, is what we call competition.
I do shop at all of them, but the reason why I choose Odgen Safeway over the others at time are for the following reasons.
1. I absolutely LOVE their deli. My guilty little pleasure is getting about 4 - 6 different salads and makign my own little salad bar at home. It gives me a few lunches into my work week at well. My neighboring delis do not offer the same choices in salads as the Deli at Safeway.
2. Airmiles. There... I said it. :)
3. when I need something a little more carby, I also enjoy the plymouth rock sandwich.
4. The safeway for the longest time had the only starbucks in the area. Now Quarry Park offers a bit of competition if I just want coffee. But why not couple a coffee run with picking up a few items?
Long and short of it, my only feedback for Ogden Safeway is that it will be nice when they get their turn for renovations, but other than that, I have my favorite items that I can only get there, versus competing grocery stores. Therefore, you continue to get the lions share of my grocery business. Nice work!
