DENVER (KDVR) — Safeway has just announced the closure of 10 stores within Colorado, including some Denver Metro area locations.
On Tuesday, a Safeway spokesperson told FOX31 that the 10 stores are expected to cease operations before or on Nov. 7, which comes after a “strategic consolidation” through merging the Intermountain and Denver division into a Mountain West Division.
“We continuously evaluate the performance of our stores, and occasionally, after long and careful deliberation, it becomes necessary to make the difficult decision to close certain locations. We are working to place affected associates in nearby stores wherever possible,” said the Safeway spokesperson.
The spokesperson also listed the 10 Colorado locations, which are as follows:
- 201 E Jefferson, Englewood
- 500 E. 120th Ave, Northglenn
- 1653 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver
- 12200 E. Mississippi, Aurora
- 3657 S. College Ave, Fort Collins
- 860 Cleveland Ave., Loveland
- 5060 North Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs
- 1425 S Murray Blvd., Colorado Springs
- 315 West 2nd St., La Junta
- 906 E. Olive St., Lamar
The closures also include other states within New Mexico and Nebraska; however, both states have one impacted store closing.
The spokesperson also noted that the decision to close the stores “was not made lightly,” citing that the closure would allow for the company to continue investing in its store network and “evolving” with customer needs.
