Another day, another bit of news about a Safeway or Albertsons store reopening. This one in particular is interesting because here the company was going to shift names but decided to keep it as a Safeway after all.

As a result, the opening was pushed back a month or two, as they prepare to strip the Albertsons LLC décor and replace it with Safeway décor (presumably). This is a bit interesting in the way that Albertsons IS thinking about what to brand stores as in the market (they went with Albertsons there since there's an Albertsons nearby, though only a quarter mile), and they're not going to mix-and-match décor either. Probably just as well...the operations at both stores isn't identical yet. Might as well try to at least coax the old shoppers back first.
