If your go-to grocery store is Safeway, you'll want to make sure that the location closest to you will remain open for business. On September 9, 2025, parent company Albertsons announced that 12 Safeway locations will shutter their doors for good, including ten in Colorado, one in Nebraska, and one in New Mexico. All stores on the list are planned to close on or before this coming November 7.
