Went into the store Sunday Jan 29 and couldn’t believe how empty the meat dept was, while shopping 2 employees were walking around not sure who they were but think they were ordering but never said excuse me while cutting you off and then not even move while you could get done the aisle, also looked for a product that was in the flyer couldn’t find it so I had a young guy and he wasn’t sure said he would have to ask his manger I said yes please so he walked away me thinking he was going to go ask and he didn’t even bother, very poor service I know it’s a new store but definitely need more training and also know how to deal with customers
Quite disappointing. Everything that was pleasant and enjoyable about Safeway has been removed; everything that is unpleasant about big box stores has been added. At our office, located nearby, Safeway was a popular destination at break times. We often visited the deli, and our office birthday cakes came from the bakery. Our offices had 45 plants that came from the Safeway plant section. It's disappointing that Safeway has been replaced with FreshCo. What a dump.
This place is top tier, stocked in full, wide selection. Ignore all these useless reviews comparing it to Safeway, it is by far a way better shopping experience.
Safeway in Port O' Call Mall Red Deer is a very nice store to shop. It's always super clean and disinfected. The staff have always been accomodating and friendly to me! There is also a Starbucks right inside Safeway. I think my favorite part about this store is their deli sandwiches. They make the sammies right in front of you, with whatever ingredient you want! And they have a little soup station if you want to buy a side to go with your sammy.
Covid protocols followed, staff are very helpful and friendly, both the produce & meat departments are fresh & well maintained. The only place in the area to buy bulk yellow potatoes.
