Safeway Los Altos,CA
Safeway located at 160 First St. in Los Altos,CA. This store which opened on January 3rd 1968 is showing signs of age leading to the plans for a potentail rebuild of the store. The mostly conservative residents of Los Altos have expressed many specific details so the store does not become too big and possibly detour residents from the longtime businesses in Downtown Los Altos. So far Safeway has presented a few plans which have not faired well with residents. For the time it seems like this store will stay but a goal is to have something completed by 2011. A lot of towns have been very particular of how Safeway should rebuild their aging stores. With so many special exceptions Safeway could just pull out of the area altogether but the store is still profitable and thus not worthy of closing.
Burlingame has been debating with Safeway on a new store for more than twenty-five years...
Oakland, Berkeley, and Albany have also not been able to come to terms with Safeway wanting to demolish and rebuild stores on College Ave, Rockridge, Solano Ave. and Shattuck Ave.
For now Safeway might as well continue operating these stores since more people favor there older stores instead of the plans to build new ones.
