Fair Oaks Safeway Remodeled
Safeway has remodeled its Fair Oaks supermarket into its lifestyle format. The remodel of the 46,000 square foot store, which opened in 2003, took about a month and a half.
The Safeway at 5450 Dewey Drive gained a soup cart and olive bar; a gourmet cheese table; a culinary center with the latest cooking gadgets; and expanded organic, wine, bakery, floral, and pharmacy departments.
Safeway has converted a dozen of its 19 Sacramento area stores to the new format, leaving seven more to remodel. Safeway began switching to the new look four years ago and expects to transform all of its 270 stores in Northern California within two years.
