Another Safeway to close in the Bay Area

VALLEJO, Calif. - Another Safeway in the Bay Area is slated to close, just days after the Pinole location announced it was shutting its doors.

Vallejo's Safeway on Admiral Callaghan Lane is scheduled to close in the middle of April, on or around April 11, according to a store spokeswoman. 

This decision was made after careful consideration and evaluation of the store's financial performance and ongoing safety concerns," the spokeswoman said. 

It's unclear what safety concerns were being made that contributed to the store's closure.

The other side:

Vallejo's city manager expressed disappointment over the impending closure.

"We understand the company is closing other stores in the Bay Area. We are hopeful for new opportunities at the site and will keep the community posted on what business may take over the space.  We welcome the community’s input on what additional business they’d like to see in that area to benefit Vallejoans," said City Manager Andrew Murray.

What's next:

Employees at the store set to close will be assigned to a new store location. 

Other Safeway locations in Vallejo include a store on Robles Way and another on Lincoln Road. 

In addition to the Pinole Safeway closure, a Safeway in San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood shut down earlier this month, to the chagrin of many residents. 

Safeway said they closed the Fillmore location due to "persistent problems of theft" and concerns relating to employee and customer safety.

That store location had been operating for 40 years before its closure.
