Four Corners Safeway Prepares for Renovations

The renovations officially begin Aug. 22.

The Safeway located in Four Corners is getting a facelift as part of the renovations that have been taking place company wide for the past seven years, according to Craig Muckle, manager of public affairs for Safeway.

Currently, the store is being "reset" which started Sunday, Aug. 7. This is when all of the food products in the store are being moved around in preparation for the renovations, he said.

Typically this is the last step, but in order for the process to go smoother Muckle added that the company decided to reset the products first.
