Tour: Safeway #2706 - Rehoboth Beach, DE


SAFEWAY #2706

Opened: 2005
Address:  19283 Coastal Hwy
Photographed: July 2021



Before leaving Rehoboth Beach and heading up to Dover (where there's another Safeway...), we've got one more supermarket to look at - Safeway #2706. And, to sweeten the deal, I've got several interior photos of this one...

Surprisingly, this isn't the first Safeway in Rehoboth Beach. There was a store that opened in the 1970s and closed in 1987 at 19724 Coastal Hwy. But that's not the purpose of today's post. This post is about the current store at 19283 Coastal Hwy.

Safeway's (new) 55,000 sq. ft. Rehoboth Beach supermarket, store #2706, opened on November 17, 2005, holding a grand opening the next day. This was one of the first stores to use the new logo (although for some strange reason, the fuel station used the older one, I still don't know what went on there...). It was also one of the first to feature the Lifestyle format, which it still uses to this day.
