[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Safeway is closing the store because they were bought and their new owners want to consolidate stores and also rationize with Albertsons, which they own also. They WANT you to shop at the Safeway megaplex on Wisconsin Ave, which reportedly has had less customer traffic than Safeway expected when they built it. That's why, in part, they want to feed it customers from smaller stores. The Palisades Safeway is closing and not coming back. It doesn't matter if they build a sheep meadow or 10 stories of hipster micro condos on the roof. At least now, Safeway won't be able to restrict a purchaser from leasing to another grocer with a more flexible, one size doesn't fit all model.[/quote]
There is no way another grocer is coming to palisades. It will be condos with on street parking. The Safeway in Gtown is highly successful and a model store for the corporation. It's the highest grossing Safeway in the country.[/quote]

This is the first time I've heard this (highest grossing) and it seems at odds with other commentary. I know nothing personally, so I can't assess validity.

It is curious to note that Safeway itself wanted to build another grocery store in that location. That seems to refute part of your claim that another grocer won't go into the old location. [/quote]
