This Safeway is a convenient neighborhood grocery store located at 5101 Wilson Blvd in Arlington, VA. It has a friendly atmosphere with helpful and smiling staff. The store has received a nice interior renovation and general facelift in recent years, including the addition of self check-out. While some note it is on the smaller side and can feel cluttered, it allows for a quick in-and-out trip for necessities. The store offers a good selection of guaranteed fresh fruits and vegetables in its produce department, which some find better than other nearby places. It features a butcher block with an assortment of meat and seafood, a deli with party trays and an Order Ahead service, a floral department, and a pharmacy. Services include Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™. However, some customers report issues like discolored meat, freezer-burnt ice cream, and a sometimes cluttered front area. It is a place that gets the job done for many, with a great wine selection, though some feel the prices can be high. The upcoming acquisition by Kroger may bring future changes.
