Reviews of Safeway Penticton (Bakery)

Jason Hobbs

Nice enough. Starbucks inside too.

Tyson S

Not bad, they have good sales. Probably stay away from the clearance meat though, I got some beef was stinky when I opened it up at home.

A. D.A

This is a store that is geared to people who are stuck in their ways. They've always shopped here, so they won't go anywhere else. The prices are always higher than other grocery stores. The quality is sub-par too. Their hot food used to be good years ago, but has declined to the point of it's not even worth checking on now. The staff in the deli, sandwich, Chinese food and hot meal departments are never around. Always hiding in the back. Save your time and money and go to a different grocery store.

BC Valley Guy

Great selection of Fall plant arrangements and pumpkins.

Byron Aspell

Great selection and everything they sell is of the best quality.

Eric B-B

Large efficient supermarket- everything you could wish for!

Jason Miller

Way too many people in the store making for crowded shopping conditions and poor selection

Jogdish1000

Glad to see a bastion of light at the Penticton outpost of Safeway. If you're a fan of Safeway, this place is the shizznit!! Old school operation unlike the ones in Vancouver.

Mary Gaudet

Great prices on fruit and good quality too :)

Sandra Krauer

Safeway was clean with a huge variety, deli, Starbucks snd bakery.

Justin Barcellos

They have very friendly staff, and will bag your groceries for you. I had to take a star away though cause everything there seems a little more expensive than the other stores but I haven't found a bakery that compares to this store so I have to keep coming back, they have amazing bread.

Borbala Dance

Expensive and low quality vegetables and fruits I didn't give this review for Safeway I had a good experience and found the prices reasonable.....I would give it a 4.5 star

Nickolas Dudek

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of groceries and home supplies.

Kristina proskow-woodcock

Awesome for customers service but not enough smiles but two for one ate great saving if single person

Shannon Gauvin

Friendly courteous service

artemis houdelis

I've shopped here for years, and have never had an issue with anything. The staff has always been super helpful. Its not a huge store, so you can always find someone to help very quickly. The prices are not the best in town, but they are still competitive. Also located in a plaza, so you have a pharmacy, cell phone shop, dollar store, post office, pub, eye doctor, dentist, Wendys and a whole bunch of other business in the same place.

Carol Van Egmond

It has a lot of bulk foods and appears to have a large selection of vegan and holistic foods.

Conner Gauthier

Bread I wanted was not ther but it was nice anyway

Alex Labreque

Had both of my covid shots at this pharmacy and the whole process was seamless and easy. Very friendly staff and tons of parking. Excellent experience!

James Eror

Convenient shopping good over all solaction busy most of time sometimes waiting long to check out and pay

Roxanne Brower

Quickest customer service counter in any Safeway I've been in! Thnx

Dan O'Hara (DanO)

Price's are too High!! But the people work there are great!!

Kenny boy

Over priced and they don't do anything about the pan handlers outside.. so be prepared to get verbally abused on the way in and the way out, if the old lady is working deli, don't bother she is miserable and rude

TJ Dever

Good selection, moderate pricing. Plenty of self serve check outs. Comprehensive floral dept., bakery, deli. Starbucks located within.

Gabriella Brozik

Competitive prices. Not on everything. Friendly cashiers.

April Valentine

One of the more expensive stores in town but it's in a very convenient location.

Jean Page

Was asking about whole grain bread, but a specific type and the woman in the bakery department rudly cut me off and said yes we have 100's!! Like i was blind or something.... clearly she did not care what i was asking. So i put down other items i was planning to purchase and left. Went to a competitor. No wonder Safeway stores are shutting down if this is the type of service you get..

brandon schwazer

Best place to go for everything! Lots of parking, easy to find what you need and friendly staff.

Genadiy Selivanov

Great place to buy flowers. Good value!

Patrick Longworth

It seems that with "opening up" the aisle arrows are no longer being used? I'm still very cautious, still wearing a mask and physically distancing, I was able to find what I needed without any problems.

Michael Schoberth

Awesome helpful and friendly staff and management.

Ashe Wyles

The awesome bakery ladies remember my order whenever I go in.

Gary Haupt

Got some nice steaks at a good price. Kicking Horse coffee on sale, too. Safeway always a good experience. Clean, nice staff.

D.A.J.

Very good. A nice selection of produce fresh Neely arranged. Meats and fish excellent fresh again. Lacks a little in the Asian or International Market aisle could use a better selection of Chinese Korean and Japanese noodles sauces Etc. Very good parking out front.

Casey Hardman

Good visits, but some of the aisles need work as the section where the deli and breads are, are quite tightly spaced.

Karl Eriksen

Ample parking. Incredible fruits and veggies. Many gourmet items, some very nicely discounted. Incredible staff.

Tracey Savage

Good shopping center Lots of check outside open Busy store

Barry King

Very well stocked 100 local produce items love of it

Donna R

Will always love this location as it is where my husband and I met!

kathleen scott

At the last minute we decided to take Safeway up on it's preorder 'just heat and serve' full turkey dinner and although they could've beefed up the volume of vegetables, we have zero regrets. If you are pressed for time or plans have changed, consider this.

Stan Dworkowski

Great selections, friendly staff, and all you need for a lake side city on the beach .

Pete Cordoni

Awesome Staff. Best personal Service. Qaulity is near Perfect. Everyone is Very friendly. Only one thought comes to mind, I'm not sure about Sobeys Single use bag, Safeway has the worst. Thankfully, Penticton and many other jurisdictions are Banning these bags. Problem Solved! Whoops. They are the Best if you ever need to Return an item. Without a Receipt even. I

Andrew William Bartlett

In and out just picking up dinner fast and friendly

Maya Desiree' Lebeu

Products are great! Always fresh & available, unlike other places. If they dont have it they will get it for you. Management team treats their staff publically, with utmost respect, while at the same time treat customers & business owners like family. Definately 5☆ deserving as a major examplary business of Penticton BC!

Jasmine Machtaler

Great store and the produce is always high quality. Some things are priced quite a bit higher than other stores but quality is definitely there. Sometimes certain items come on sale for a great deal too. Definitely a good store for a quick shop.

JR CLOES

Friendly and helpful staff, decent prices. Good pharmacy, deli and produce.

Creative Millwork

It is always a superb shopping experience.

Darren Oslund

Quality food at a fair/higher price well laid out high standards in a competitive market

Jan Timmers (VE7JBT)

There's a Starbucks here in the store. Can you tell I like coffee? Grab one while you shop. Good selection and self check out

R B

Placement of items is odd, but overall is a reasonable store.

Petra BC, Canada

Good convenient store, great little shopping mall

Arlana Insights

Well laid out and friendly staff :)

FuckEbonics

I would normally never shop at this safeway just because of the ludicrous prices but for the last year or so it's just convenient because I'm literally a minutes walk away. However, as soon as I get in the place I immediately start looking for the orange on sale tags. If they aren't on certain things I normally buy then I go without. My fave ice cream is $7 for a 1.89 ml. Walmart sells the exact same one for $4.27 and $2.99 on sale and that's just ONE example. I suppose I eat less snacks because their prices are so high so theyre kind of like calorie reducer you might say. Still though....prices are ridiculously high here.

Cody Keus

Nothing extraordinary here. Regular franchise grocery store. They do have good deli sandwiches though.

Mark Smed

Great meat department. Got a couple awesome steaks.

Mike Lauer

Best selection in town especially deserts. Best cheesecake!

Darius E.

Very clean and nice store. Staff are always chipper and happy to deal with. I miss the deli sandwiches, the second I can have another turkey pesto I will be there in a flash!

Rob Unwin

I enjoy using the self checkouts but out of all the places I use these checkouts , Safeways staff member (guy in maybe mid twenties is the absolute MOST helpful and amazing customer service skills I've had the pleasure of being helped by . I'll update with his name next time :)

Gary Wilson

Fun knowledgeable staff! First class specials! Lots of selection to choose from!

Louis Lindley

Safeway is a good place to shop for good deals and a place to have coffee as well

Gail Paulics

Great store to shop in. Selves so far a well stocked and variety is good. I also like the Airmiles that I can collect.

Tara Jack

Great food but a little pricey lol

Tim Griffith

They overcharged us but never give us a receipt so we can prove it

nelda solar

Safeway excellent grocery store,vegetables so fresh also the fruit awide variety,all shelves stocked.Doesnt get any better.

kelly Holzhaus

Back in the day I would have given 5 stars, but the addition of self checkouts that remove JOBS results in a loss of star power.

Katie Peeren

Good selection of deli dinner items also the Chinese food is pretty good

Susan Steele

Very convenient place to go to get groceries stamps even a little wobbly pop it's just across the parking lot always friendly people here to help especially when you can't remember when something

Eve Darth

Yummy Chinese food, but groceries are so overpriced...everything is expensive

Yogesh Jogi

Good old Safeway service. Fresh produce and meats. good sales.

Ahmed Fadhil

My favorite shopping place for groceries and snacks, has a bit of everything, very large, feels prestigious tho, I always preferred shopping here, although it might be a bit more expensive than other places, but what is that adds up to anyway 0.20$, 0.45$? 1$? Not a big deal to me..

Wes Quist

The store is tired and need of Reno..but... Great selection of quality produce and meat. Staff is great and helpful.

Shaun S

Nice and helpful staff if you run into one. Seems short staffed alot of the time. Same quality you expect from Safeway though.

curtis lloyd

Always a good experience in this location. I love how the employees remember me and are always helpful. Great job with the covid19 situation aswell.

Ariane Hohmann

Good deals, love the flowers. The fruits and veggies are always fresh!

Autumn M

It’s a safe way to spend too much money on food

R J

I prefer going here compared to the bigger stores as it's easier to find stuff

Anaya Sinclaire

Always consistent Safeway quality and service despite health issues business as usual with ease and respect. Thanks for making life Normal.

lindsay hivon

prices are outrageous for a lot of things (unless on sale. $1.50 regular price difference to save-on, on identical yogurt!!), but their newish in-store prepped produce and salads can be surprisingly worthwhile, depending what you get; also enjoy their store-made pizzas and flatbread. oh and their donuts are the absolute best - especially cos you can get ½ dozen great donuts here for the price of a single one at some other local places....

gnizamA srednoW

Very expensive did not buy anything because the prices were ridiculous. Truth be told this franchise prices gouges people.

Michael Zosiak

Clean supermarket with a good selection. Easy to park and prices were in line with others around the area. We would go back when in the area again.

Ryan H. (Viddi)

Great Selection, and friendly staff. Occasionally the checkout lines can be a bit long.

Doug Stirling

Went to the Deli to get a snack. ½ of the bins were empty and what was there was unappealing. This was at 4:45 in the afternoon ie the supper rush.

AC Hawkins

Safeway..good food clean store and great staff

Melanie

This will be my grocery store while I live in the area. I have lived in many provinces across the country and item availability can change province to province. Thankfully this store has almost everything we have grown to want at a good price. The store is very clean, organized, the staff is friendly and prices are comparable. Lots of parking as well. Bonus, they have Atlantic Salmon in stock on a regular basis!

colin mccormick

It is clean and organized. Friendly staff that is eager to help some even give good dinner ideas.

Tina Ferguson

I LOVE Safeway.. Got cinnamon buns from the bakery. The best ones I have eaten yet. Yum

Antonette Go

My first time to shop in this store and the employees are very helpful to me.

A.A omfg skateboarder S

Super expensive and they treat everyone who isn't 80, like they are there to steal everything

Raini Mack

Well organized, well stocked as well as knowledgeable and friendly staff.

rebecca allen

I like the cashiers they are friendly.

Lubomir Dobrik

Really nice place to shop but a bit pricey on the meats. I really like the deli.

abu kamel

Fresh fruit and vegetables. Fresh bread. All grocery with reasonable price and very nice staff

Tristahx

Meh. It's Safeway. Friendly staff, well stocked shelves, higher prices.

Ercan Kaya

I just want crispy French bread but stuff who work at bakery very unfriendly. One of gir said just wait couple minutes hot bread coming than I wait after 5 min bread came out hot but other lady who works there she did not want to give . I spoke with manager but she could not help too . Not happy very unprofessional very bad customer services . Better go shopping another store .

Kat Atomic

I love how you dont need to pay for a cart. Love the produce, and how they usually have apples from BC. Prices are a little more expensive but they bag your groceries and I appreciate the extra service. Friendly staff is always willing to show you where an item is. Pharmacy staff is helpful and knowledgeable.

Christopher Michaelson

pretty alright spot the guy gave me free smoked salmon so that's gr8

April Janele

This is my favourite grocery store. I know there are bigger and probably a little cheaper grocery stores but the service is great. There is always someone to ask a question instead of wondering around forever and the staff are always ready to help. That goes along way for me. Update: This is officially my grocery store in Penticton Since my last review their prices have become more competitive. Also, I couldn't find salad almonds anywhere and before I knew it I had three employees tracking them down. That is service. Oh and I love not having to bag my own groceries.

Rita Elgert

The staff was extremely helpful and professional. I was very impressed with how the staff dealt with some rude and panicking customers

Shirley Buchanan

Wonderfully laid out store. Beautiful, eye appealing displays. Very helpful staff. I can see this being one of my two favorite grocery stores.

Lily Differ

Great helpful staff. Employees are always extremely helpful

A B

Nice and clean and well stocked

Josh Craven

They have the best hot food here, and they bring in amazing cheese I can't find anywhere else. Huge selection and a very clean store

YOGA PETE

Typical Safeway. Friendly Staff and everything one needs in one stop including pharmacy. Good quality of food and selection of products. Many other stores are in the strip mall. Including eyewear and BC Government Liquor store. Taxi stand and gas bar. Last opportunity for food on North end of Penticton.

Janice Reece

great service and awesome products and they had everything I needed.

Kye Irwin

Starbucks staff was very nice but the safeway staff was rude and the bathroom door lock didnt work

Jennifer Killorn

I thought Safeway was an absolute stress free visit today:)

Fred Strawson

Nice clean store and nice staff. Going back Saturday for something special that won't be in til then

Thomas Fraser

The cashier at Safeway was very nice. Let me use a save on card. I'm from Nashville Tennessee. Place was very clean. I'll be back

Aiden Furtado

Nice workers and lots of necessary groceries!

Ted Randhawa

Produce is fresh and the deli and meat departments are good.

Paul Mellen

Great place to shop. Best service in Town.

John Gjaltema

Safeway wouldn't be my choice for a full shopping list, but they still have excellent sale's you won't want to miss.

Dan Knelsen

Great prices, only one customer bathroom, air miles could be better

Johnathon Erkkila

Safeway has the best nacho cheese chips

Ray Janko

I have had 3 bad experiences with staff at this Penticton Safeway. Obviously its considered acceptable by management standards because the staff members are still there after significant time. The first time I had a younger check-out girl give me a lecture about a bag of bridge mix I picked-up from the bulk section and on that day there was no scale to be found. I got to the checkout and it was about $6 worth, so I said "no, I'll pass because its more than I wanted". Then came the lecture. The girl was probably 30-35 years old and I'm 60 plus and I'm getting a lecture about taking stuff that the store will supposedly now have to throw out. Apparently it was my fault that they had no scale for me to weigh my bridge mix a little at a time until I had my $3 worth? Of course this took place with several other customers in line listening to the rant. The second time was when I arrived at the checkout with a pineapple that was on sale for $3.99 each. I caught it real quick when it went through at $5.99. I immediately called her on it and she started defending the readout on the till as it has to be correct and I must have been wrong. Was I sure? Again this was another rude younger woman probably 40 years old. I said "no, I'm not wrong, there's a great big sign right in the middle of probably well over a 100 of them". She said "you have to show me that!" Meanwhile there are several people behind me starting to groan, so I said "no, forget it, I don't need it that bad". She insisted and away she went while myself and everyone waited for her to return. She comes marching back and says "I'm sorry but you were mistaken, there's no sign there." I again said "like I told you before, forget it." I new I was correct, but it wasn't worth the trouble. She was more intent in belittling the customer and making herself look important and of course"right." After I paid the bill, I went over and took a picture of the pineapple stand and the $3.99 sign and brought it back to show her. She in a very abrupt voice ordered me to take it up with customer service. I couldn't be bothered. The third and final straw was when I was coming into buy groceries and before I got into the store I grabbed the first buggy that was handy and found a package of processed cheese obviously left in the cart by accident by the previous customer. Now I thought about turning it in, but, decided not to (maybe right, maybe wrong) jury is still out on that one. If it was a $10 bill I definitely wouldn't turn it in LOL! Well, I tell you, it was like I just tried to rob the place with a shotgun when I turned the buggy and started back to my truck with the "stolen" cheese! I was immediately accosted by some wanna-be police detective in Safeway uniform and was accused of theft and dishonesty and everything else he could dream up! There was RCMP right there not 50 feet away and he was going to turn me in. I said "good idea, have at it". The RCMP just laughed and said "well, you've got your cheese back, right?" The RCMP looked at me and shook his head and the Safeway employee glared at me and told me that I wasn't welcome in the store again and refused me entry. I haven't been back since (and never will be) with exception to use the BMO bank machine. As far as I'm concerned, that employee stole my cheese! But whatever. I just hope a few people read this rant and relate to some time in their past when they might have been treated poorly at this Penticton Safeway and realize that they aren't alone. Sometimes rude ignorant people can make others feel bad and its their fault for the situation. Actually, these less than adequate employees have done me a huge favor because since the last problem I had with Penticton Safeway I have discovered The Real Canadian Superstore and Save-On and found the prices to be astoundingly lower. It was because of just plain simple laziness that I continued to shop Penticton Safeway for the last decade. So maybe I owe these 3 employees a thank you instead!

Tina Schulte

Friendly staff, freshness in every department and not oversized. After a long day on your feet the last thing you want to do is walk another 10 miles to get milk, bread or produce.

Mennie Kleij

Love the store . Products are fresh and service is great

Patricia Dobrik

Clean, fresh fruit and veggies love that ❤️

Nanda Sangwais

Nice enough staff but the prices are way to high.

Roxanne Bertrand

Busy floral department but very helpful.

Stan Stefanik

The lighting in the store is not conducive to a pleasant shopping experience

Laurie Bell

Great produce and prepared food.

Dylan F

Real bad prices but sometimes real good sales. Staff are friendly but that one dude named Chad seems a tad off. One star for Hi-Chew and another cause the store needs it.

Darren Asher

I found what I was looking for with ease, the Store Manager Ryan spoke to me. What a nice man.

Trevor Elliott

This company needs to stop gouging people in resort communities.

Kathy Stevens

Quick efficient service, friendly staff

Carey Larsen

Fast friendly service and clean store. Competitive prices and good sales and discounts. Self serve section at the check out has enough spots to get through quickly.

Nadia Cutler

Very warm staff. Helpful and beautiful displays of fruits and vegetables. Feels like a community store

Brian Norton

Typical Safeway . Looks good but not the best prices .Not my first pick of groceries stores .

Michelle Davies

Safeway is where I shop. It’s clean and everything right where I always expect it do be. Foods fresh ( yummy)( I have shop there for years, lol) unfortunately, they have had a couple bad apples working there. Don’t we all though !!

Michael Suhr

Safeway makes the grocery shopping experience quick and easy for anyone.

Transformationallyjo

Amazing customer service across the board. Great incentives to shop on Customer Value Days and Blue Days/ Airmiles promotions. I adore Safeway and I am hesitant to say anything negative. However, my loyalty lives to serve the public at large. Hence since management changed a couple of years ago, there's been a noticeable decline in the quality of Safeway's produce department. That in of itself is a big fat disappointment. Coupled with the fact that their prices do not reflect their lack of ability to source and deliver mouth-watering produce is outrageous! Having said that, Safeway is still where I most often shop. Why convenience and wicked-awesome staff.

Maple Leaf Mama

A key is now required for the washroom. My husband, who has had a stroke, had to go to service desk (at the front of store) to get someone to page a key be taken to the washroom in the rear of the store. Then walk all the way back to the rear of the store & wait. He waited for 5 mins, no one showed so he had to go to Wendy's across the parking lot. NOT A GOOD SYSTEM SAFEWAY/SOBEY'S If this keeps happening, there will be many cleanups in aisle 5. Crappy customer service.

Marylyn MacKay

I HAVE WALKING ISSUES AND HAD TO USE THE DOOR FARTHEST FROM THE ITEM I NEEDED CAUSE ONLY ONE DOOR IS OPEN. EVEN WALMART HAS BOTH OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL NOT GO BACK TILL YOU ARE ABLE TO FACILITATE THE HADICAPED.

belockayye

I went to the Starbucks in the store and the baristas were very kind and made my drink in a very timely manner

Matt Pavlis

Great selection and friendly staff. Sunshine tax on prices but that is the norm for the area!

Alinda Wiens

Found the perfect cupcakes for the baby shower. Had a lovely coffee and breakfast bun as well. Fast cashiers and lots of parking!

Conor Moyes

Aaron at the sandwich bar inside this location makes a phenomenal sandwich. I will only get one when he's working, he takes the time and effort to make everything perfectly placed and even. He clearly likes making them to the best of his ability and it's duly noted! Give this man a raise!!!

Rambulance

Most of the staff are pretty friendly and sometimes I can get pizzas for 3 bucks a piece. The place is kind of dirty. Sometimes when I pick up a shopping basket I need to go through 3 or 4 baskets until I find one that is clean enough. I kind of get the feeling they don't clean them.

Kevin Rogers

The self check out stations are very dirty around the scales. The staff are always friendly.

D Burroughs

Clean and tidy with few lines. The prices could be lower compared to the other stores in town.

Scott Walker

Great Local Staff; Great Meats for BBQ's and Excellent Cold Cuts and Bakery Departments. They make the best Sweet and Sour Pork in their food prep areas.

I had to run in to buy 10 pumpkin pies. Yes 10 pumpkin pies. There is a reason but I want you to write this story. Anyway the cashier was super friendly and was extremely competent on the proper way to bag and transport 10 pumpkin pies. 5 stars will buy 10 pumpkin pies there again.

zebatov

Mirrored to my local Safeway in Alberta. Why? Better food than Wal-Mart, and you pay for it. Helpful staff at this location during my most recent visit.

Zac Blac

I like safeway, their morning/afternoon cashiers are super friendly and nice.

Ah it's an alright place, people are always begging outside and the produce section is kinda bad

Higher-end grocery store. Good deli and bakery. Watch for sales if on a budget.

Why is Safeway THE most expensive place to shop compared to any other store?

Finnian Burnett

We had a wonderful experience here today with a very friendly clerk, some good sales and a lot of locally made items

Matthew Alexander -Brown

Good deals on two for one specials till Wed.

Mark Wooldridge

Excellent deli. This is the place to go for a quick sandwich. Better than Subway, more selection and better prices.

Guri Gill

It's a safe way to buy groceries

john gjaltema

daisy

Amazing customer service, especially the deli area

Matt Amling

I am American and it was pretty much the same as their which was nice.

Funky Times Jack (Solaris)

It's a good place to buy stuff but gets kinda crowded nowadays which I don't like

J Burns

I love this store! It is my go to always. Staff friendly, store clean, lots of selection and stocked shelves. I appreciate the effort they have put into the Covid protocols.

Dave A

I was raised on Safeway. Yes, it may be a little more expensive but it beats the warehouse feeling I get from other big name stores.

Robin Hooper

It's not so much as Safeway as per say but Cynthia at the pharmacy is a true professional and empathetic person if you should ever run onto her you'll see.

Laurie Martin

Found the differences between US Safeways and Canadian Safeways! Thank you for showing me new foods!

Mia C.

The store itself is ok, but ZERO organic options and when I asked for organic half and half the gentleman looked at me like I had three heads!

Cassie Clift

Found everything I wanted. Staff were polite and friendly

D the den Guy

Kalamata Helpful staff, found what we needed! Staff were friendly and service was good! Pitted Kalamata olives were they should be.

Bernie Burger (STXBernprint)

I enjoy working here at Safeway here in Penticton BC and have worked here for 10 years now. Just now with Everyday lower prices we can really compete now with other stores in our area. Great Selection from Produce with new In-store made cut Fruit and Salads. In-store made Baked goods to China Kitchen and Deli Roasted Chickens. Plus an in-store Starbucks to get a Coffee on the go or while Shopping. Plus is the only Grocery store to offer Air Miles bonus offers. Open from 7:00AM - 11pm Everyday only Closed on Christmas. Hope to see you there! :)

TheRealSavant Gaming

Safeway has always been my go to store. The staff and produce are amazing ... Of course there's gunna be the one odd ball once in while who upsets someonem but I've experienced that at all stores, not just Safeway... Only thing keeping me from giving them a 5 star... Is the fact they are a bit pricey compared to the rest of local stores. But I'm not affraid to pay for quality. Cheers. Hope this helped !

K H

Pricey but good variety, staff are Lovely

Joanna Rose

Good deals, never too busy. Helpful staff. The health food selection is very minimal. Lots of brands and items they don’t carry. The produce is okay. Overall I wish I lived closer to a different grocery store.

Frenchies Girl

Everything is over priced, especially this city's demographics consist of an above average of senior citizens and for most, this means a fixed income. My Mom was outraged at the prices, and so ~ her friends have stop shopping there as well

rix viz

I did not go here.I believe I just drop something nearby but asking me how was the visit.Ok.

William Tilbury

Tried all the major stores in Penticton, for fresh fruit and vegetables, SAFEWAY is the best. In my opinion, better and fresher than the organic stores in town!

Aaron Baisarowicz

Prices on veg are extravagant but freshness poor.

Safeway has a great bakery. They're open very late in the summer as well, you can get all your groceries after spending the day on the lake.

Cindy Barbier

Great service and reasonable prices.

One of the better Safeways I've shopped

Raechelle Bennett

This is a larger Safeway store that offers many more extras of everything you're looking for. Centrally located on Main Street. Open very early to late evening hours for shopping convenience (7 a.m. to 11 p.m.). Very clean and well-placed sections/isles. Extra floral capacity for a great assortment of ready-made bouquets to build your own, with Floral specialist/counter for special requests. . Many in-store specials so a surprise with every visit. Large deli/snack area with Starbucks as well. Produce is almost always very fresh. One section off produce dedicated to Organics. Very helpful staff to answer questions or find items. In-store pharmacy. Adequate fresh seafood counter. In-store Bakery with much to choose from. ATM machine in-store. Ample parking lot. Handicapped parking in front. Fours stars because this store does not price-match. Having said that, with all the weekly specials and in-store specials, prices are very comparable to other grocery stores in the city. I highly recommend this store for all your major to minor shopping.
