Safeway closure at NE 122nd and Glisan
Posted: July 15th, 2018, 8:26 am
Rather than continue to derail the main Safeway - Albertsons 2018 openings and closures thread, I thought I'd bring discussion over here.
Local media reports
KATU 2 (Sinclair): NE Portland Safeway to Close in August
KGW 8 (TEGNA): Safeway in NE Portland to Close (auto play video)
Pharmacy closing July 26.
It is unfortunate that the store right in front of a large senior living community and near where Albertsons (pre-merger) and another Safeway (pre-merger) closed a few years ago. The Albertsons was replaced by a Grocery Outlet and a gym, so that space was at least somewhat reused by a grocer. The Safeway is now a Ross Dress For Less.
As "Babs" noted over in the other thread, the Multnomah County Sheriff did relocate their east county headquarters to a modern building further east. (this is still city of Portland, so the law enforcement generally would be the city, not county responding) The county chose to use the space as a temporary shelter. That is also now closed.
In the same center, Target closed in 2011 which the developer eventually turned into state-run office space for those needing public assistance.
There is a stand-alone Safeway at SE 122nd and Powell, but if you were relying on public transportation or (challenging in east Portland) walking, that will be a difficult journey.
Further eastward on Division, there is a very busy Fred Meyer at SE 148th and Division.
