Safeway

I visit several times a week because it’s right across from the commuter lot and closest to my apartment. I wish there was something else, honestly. Produce is rarely great. I’ve been in so many times when zucchini was about 5 inches long and bruised and cut to hell. And they weren’t even put on sale…
Good luck finding good avocados or full sized tomatoes. Meat section doesn’t even usually carry fresh wings. I always have to buy the frozen wings. The ONE time they did, I was looking for a whole chicken and they didn’t have a whole chicken. A grocer. Didn’t have. A whole chicken. I also like bones and they don’t carry any bones at all to make stock with.
Decent gluten free section, I have to admit. Employees are very friendly and courteous. If produce was better, they’d have another star.

No other grocery store had the ninja turtles themed anything! Not only did this location have everything I needed they had awesome options!
Thanks to The Bakery Department, I have the perfect birthday cake for a 7 year old. They pulled a miracle out from back and had a ninja turtle cake kit!!! Thank you Lisa, Candace, and Victoria! My cake angles.

New to the area… we shopped at all the stores in the local area… this was least expensive, clean and friendly. Nelly, the cashier went above and beyond and introduced us to the safeway app, told us their coupon doubling policy, gas rewards program, & even shared a stavk of coupons with us from her own personal wallet! She was so kind and help ful. Love their $ 5.00 friday deals! Manager was super professional when we had a pricing glitch… end up being MY FAULT yet he still wanted to give me the discount.
Sometimes great products and services are best found in humble places… not the fanciest store but I ama devoted shopper their now.

I visit this Safeway when I need to pick up something after work or just quick visit. I like this location. The only thing I think they need to improve on is having more registers open. Other than that great!

Out of all the grocery chains in Woodbridge, Safeway is my favorite, as they have the most variety. However, in regards to this one particular location, (as someone stated) this is not my store of choice, but it gets the job done.
In all actuality, I would recommend driving the 2 – 3 miles to the Safeway on the other end of Lakeridge at Merchant’s Plaza.
Some positives:
–They have pretty decent sales always going on.
–Behind the deli case, you can always find some kind of meat on clearance at 50% off.
–If you ask them for something, the store will usually order it for you and have it available the next time you come in.
–It reminds of the older grocery stores back when I was a kid.
–The Redbox at this location has a slightly better selection of mainstream films and lesser known films.
–There is a decent variety of stores surrounding it such as an ABC, Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Burger King, Statements Hair Salon, Dry Cleaner, CVS, Exxon, a mini library, etc. etc. I can pretty much get everything I need to get done at this one shopping center.
Negatives:
–It is old. It reminds me of the older grocery stores back when I was a kid. Both a — and a +.
–They shut off the second entrance in the store.
–Not as large of a selection as other Safeway’s, b/​c this location is smaller then others.
–It used to be that Safeway would ask you if you needed help with your groceries, getting them in your car. I haven’t been asked that in quite a few years now.

Small and inconvenient! There isn’t any kind of kiosk or anything appealing inside and it’s dirty! There bakery never has fresh bagels! It’s like they leave them there over night, gross. The employees are friendly most of the time. It needs to be updated. They need a Starbucks or bank branch or something that other safeway’s have. And it needs more products and selection. Their produce section is a joke! Nothing is ever fresh or vibrant

I agree that the way that the store is set up is a bit unusual, but when I came in to make stuff for sushi on Tuesday, I managed to get everything but raw tuna. I asked the worker in the seafood dept. when they were going to get any in, and he said that he will order some and have it for me in Saturday. Saturday comes, and the guy actually has it there for me! I normally have people who forget, but he didn’t. The guys there are very nice.

This is not my grocer of choice however it does fulfill our needs when we just need to run up to the store. Its the best and probably the only grocer within 2 – 3 mile of my home. I do agree with the other reviewer that the store is a bit confusing and seems disorganized however they always have what I need when I need it.
Just recently had a brunch at my home and ordered fried chicken from the deli. Mr. Wendell was very helpful and very accommodating. The staff back in the Deli and Bakery are outstanding. Great customer service.

I only go here if I absolutely have to — I’ve never seen such a messy, disorganized grocery store. It makes for a depressing shopping experience.
