By far the best Safeway I have been to! For a Canadian, the Scottsdale store knocks our local stores out of the park. This location has been recently renovated and expanded. It now has a large liquor section, complete with just about anything you could imagine and yes, even a tasting bar! They have a large produce section, with plently of organic choices. As part of the renovation, they also relocated Starbucks and expanded their seating area. Grab a coffee and the paper, and relax in their lounge, watching TV or sitting in front of the fire.
Overall this store is not overly hectic or crowded, and they have very friendly staff. It's my go-to grocery store when I'm in Scottsdale.
