Safeway

Not all stores are equal! They're only as good as their employees, from my point of view. Meaning that the type of people that work there can totally make or wreck a person's day. And to be honest, if we left this element out, I would have to just say 'Yup, it's a grocery store'. This particular Safeway has great people working there. They're friendly, helpful and ready to assist with any issue that you may encounter. From not being able to find a particular product to issues with the rewards program, they've got you covered! The staff is always quick to offer a hand when needed. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for all Safeway stores as we have been to some where we have had those 'wreck your day' experiences, encountering some significantly less than helpful employees there but this one has some truly kind folks working in it. Pretty fair selection of goods as well. Overall great place to shop, by our standards and our preference for the area. They also have some great deals on a consistent basis, if you use the rewards card. The card even offers free products from time to time. We have gotten a full sized jar of Mayo, a bottle of sparkling water and a couple of iced coffee drinks, as examples of what you can get for free just for having a rewards card. It all depends on what they're offering at the time. They don't always have freebies but the points that you can earn (sometimes 2, 3, 4 and 5 times the points for buying certain items or spending a certain amount in 1 trip) make up for that. And you can use the rewards card to earn points to use to get certain items that they offer for free, cash off a purchase or for up to 1.00 a gallon off at locations that have a Safeway gas station. Pretty sweet deal. Let's face it, the times we live in have given people every reason to become thrifty shoppers so that buying groceries doesn't have to mean possibly putting off another bill. The Safeway rewards program is a fantastic way to save a little and make it easier on your family, no matter whether you need the help or not. It's always a wise idea to save some dough if you can. Of course, you could always buy yourself something nice with what you save on your grocery bill. You've earned it!

Great and friendly staff. They have a wonderful rewards program and if there's any issues with club prices not reflected on my receipt, they honor them and correct the issue.

Managers are polite . The plow guys keep parking lot well maintained and de-iced. Landscaping is always well maintained.

Clean with good selection. Unfortunately they are often out of stock on certain things. Also had issue with expired products.

Clean, easy to find items, friendly staff, a very inviting asset in this small town.
