One of the interior pics provided to google maps shows some lettering on the wall for Pinatas, unclear if this is reused old lettering from the Safeway era though:

Forgot to update this thread, another local Asian chain has now leased the building though it doesn't appear to have reopened yet:

With regards to Cala (Bell/QFI) - would the shortlived Delano's IGA that took over in 2007 count as a successor chain? (That chain then imploded in 2010 and I know at least two locations in SF have since become Grocery Outlet, specifically Geary and South Van Ness)

Out here in the chain's home region (San Francisco Bay Areas), I can think of two Safeway marina buildings that had murals: - San Francisco at the namesake Marina Boulevard site, still there but moved from their orginal spot after a 1995 remodel of the store https://www.alamy.com/mural-on-marina-saf...

Safeway's old Omaha division closed down entirely in 1982, which was several years before the KKR buyout (and less than a decade and a half since this particular location had closed) - https://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/02/18/Safeway-Stores-Inc-plans-to-close-68-stores-in/8633382856400/#:~:text=Safew...

A long-form piece on the Safeway's three years (1965-1968) of attempting to operate a store in North Omaha - with a lot of wider historical context about the neighborhood's Black heritage and how redevelopment of the site has been a challenge for decades. https://northomahahistory.com/2022/10/10/a-h...

Was browsing an article from several years ago and came across this piece on Fresno urban decay: https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/06/west-fresno-racism-black-communities/ This photo was in the lede: https://i0.wp.com/calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/West-Fresno-racism-neglect-3...

I went to the Sports Basement sporting goods store a couple of days ago in the Presidio in San Francisco...and noticed lots of food-department labeling (i.e. Milk, Dairy) and a layout that unmistakeably used to be a grocery tsore! https://ir.4sqi.net/img/general/original/30332547_mvHx3SWLA3JZW_INldr...

Grocery Outlet has expressed interest in the space: https://sfstandard.com/business/north-beach-safeway-grocery-chain-says-its-fully-engaged-in-taking-over/ They currently already are in a marina former Safeway on Bayshore Boulevard at the SF/Daly City line, as well as the former Cala stores on Sout...

Update on the former marina Safeway, later Pacific Super, at St. Francis Square in Daly City (1420 Southgate Avenue) -

Entire building has been demolished as of yesterday evening (3/15/23), as opposed to when the general shell was still up and gutted about 2 weeks previous.

Just saw on a mid-century modern group I'm in, a photo of the 1963-early 2010s marina Safeway in Millbrae when it first opened! (Got permission from the original image poster, Chris Rooney, to share this) I went here once in 2009 or 2010 when it was still a Marina, but with the opaque name panel on ...

Saw a few days ago that the long-running Pacific Super grocery store specializing in Asian products has closed their SF location: https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/bay-area-pacific-supermarket-closes-17716616.php The article mentions this was built in the 1960s as a QFI (which I did not know until...

I saw a couple of folks in this thread messaged me about the 1976 Safeway map (which I scanned back in my college years at UC Davis, as it was in their library). Not sure if it is anywhere, multiple moves and computers and years later.
