Four Corners Safeway Substitutes Shiny for Shabby

By Iris Peabody

Safeway has finally found a solution to its declining clientele and has decided to make big changes to its scruffy Four Corners store at 116 University Boulevard West.  According to staff, we can anticipate a floral shop, a deli counter, and a more adequate produce arrangement — amenities previously lacking from the store.

The new manager, Tumeka Watkins, is keeping her crew busy putting the aisles in attractive and efficient “well-signed” order and the variety of selections has greatly improved.

Watkins never would take the time to speak to me, so I couldn’t find out the dates for completion.  A “grand reopening” was scheduled for 3 December, but staff weren’t sure if everything would be done by then.  At the very least, we can all look forward to a better store, one that many of us can walk to, too.   ■
