Long suffering residents of the West Shore, including Tahoe City, will now have new possibilities for modern convenience shopping. Safeway has announced a grand opening of their new store on West Lake Blvd. near the west entrance to Tahoe City.
It is located in the old Save Mart site that has been under renovation for almost 3 years after Safeway beat Save Mart to sign a new lease.
Locals have been traversing Tahoe City to gain access to the old Safeway store at the east end of town in the shopping center near the harbor. On weekends and during the summer season, making that drive was discouraging to say the least. Now, right at the convergence of Highway 89 and Tahoe Blvd one can park and shop with abandon. This is great during the winter season when that extra driving across town can be slippery at best and icy and dangerous at worst.
Safeway management noted that the wekk long Grand Opening will feature tasting sites, give aways, discounts and bargain pricing to introduce the new site. Plans for the old site have not been voiced, but, it can be assumed that some group will take advantage of the vacancy.
