Former Safeway located at 204 East Tonkawa Ave. in Tonkawa,OK. The building is currently used as a privately owned storage facility.
Note Safeway opened this 7,500 square foot store on July 18th 1960. Its also worth noting this store was exceptionally small for a Safeway built in 1960.
By the late 1970s Safeway had closed and the building was occupied by an independently owned grocery store which operated under the name Food World. By the mid 1990s Food World had closed and the space was converted into a hardware store. The hardware store closed in the late 1990s and the building was acquired by Dollar General which operated until 2015 when a larger DG was built a couple of miles away as a replacement to this store.
