Safeway to close 10 Colorado stores as part of regional consolidation
ColoradoBiz Staff //September 9, 2025//
DENVER — Safeway announced Tuesday it will close 10 stores in Colorado, one in New Mexico and one in Nebraska as part of a restructuring tied to the company’s new Mountain West Division.
In Brief:
- Safeway will close 10 Colorado stores by Nov. 7, 2025
- Closures also include stores in New Mexico and Nebraska
- Part of consolidation into the new Mountain West Division
- Affected employees may be placed in nearby stores
The stores will shut down on or before Nov. 7. Safeway said the decision followed a review of store performance and that affected employees will be offered positions at nearby locations where possible.
“Occasionally, after long and careful deliberation, it becomes necessary to make the difficult decision to close certain locations,” the company said in a statement. “With a focus on growth, these closures will enable us to continue investing in our store network and better align with evolving customer needs.”
Safeway recently combined its Intermountain and Denver divisions into the Mountain West Division, which the company described as a move to accelerate growth and streamline operations.
The following stores are scheduled to close:
- 201 E. Jefferson, Englewood, Colorado 80113
