Safeway To Go `Upscale' In New Edmonds Store

EDMONDS

The Seattle division of Safeway Inc. will build a new Marketplace Safeway store in Aurora Market Place, at 23632 Highway 99, Edmonds. The store is expected to open in late July.

The 49,000-square-foot store will be fashioned after the increasingly popular upscale-store concept. In addition to traditional grocery items, it will include a China Express with takeout Chinese food, a deli with hot foods and a salad bar, a bakery, floral department, pharmacy and fresh seafood department.

Safeway's Seattle division includes 178 stores in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Oregon.
