Soulless, boring, & expensive. A product of unethical grocery consolidation. Some stuff is stocked well, & the deli is not bad here in Gunnison. read more

July 2 and 3, 2025: Nice sized, older building, well kept up, in a central location (Spruce Street) on the main drag through Gunnison, CO. Well stocked store with a wide variety of items, I wanted to make an angel food cake and top it off with fresh fruit like blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Of course, I needed a few other things too. Everything I needed was there. It was great. Now ... I didn't realize that this is a "bring your own reusable bags town" so I did end up purchasing a couple reusable bags that we'll stash in our vehicle for reuse on our various road trips. read more

Cute Safeway in Gunnison with everything you need. I was passing through on a camping trip and stopped for probiotics. Lots of yogurt and an awesome kombucha selection. Very nice employees as well. read more

Had a case of water at checkout, it would not register. Cashier made us go back and find the price, while multiple employees were standing around the register doing nothing. Showed zero initiative, professionalism, or problem solving ability. Overall just a complete lack of effort. The item did not exist, at one point an employee just said a price and with zero confirmation that's what the cashier entered to ring up. So any number on earth could have been said and I would have been charged that. If there is a grocery store in a 100 mile radius, go there instead of here. read more

This is the competition in the small town of Gunnison for groceries and drugs. It looks and feels much older than City Market. It's a bit on the run down side. I stopped in one day for some items that I had forgot to pack in my shaving/toiletries kit. It was closer than than City Market so I opted to drop in here. I couldn't find everything I was looking for - the selection was somewhat limited - the place is definitely smaller than City Market. The ladies running the registers were very nice and friendly. read more

Would really help if the employees could take a moment from their personal conversations with their coworkers to check a customer out. :(

We stopped in while driving through to get groceries. The General Manager was as unprofessional as I have ever experienced in a grocery store. He obviously does not have the professionalism or integrity to be in a leadership role. He was making jokes to colleagues targeting my three sons and I. It seems he thought he was being witty, but it was evident that it was sarcasm intended to make fun of us. It was not so witty to not be picked easily by my sons and I. It led to my sons feeling unsafe and sad. This really crossed the line. Two of my sons immediately picked on it and felt uncomfortable. For an adult to target kids--most not even teenagers yet--is pretty low character. Normally I like to assume that bad experiences in a place of business is likely due to having a bad day--we all have those. This cannot be easily chalked up to a bad day. This is bad character. Even on a bad day, decent human beings know better than to make fun of a child. Dawn--you obviously did not read the message. I wonder if this is a cut and paste response. This does not appear to be taking the concern seriously. We did not experience long lines or lack of selection and had zero concern about this. We experienced a lack of professionalism--and really a lack of basic decency--from a general manager. I already filed a compliant. Making fun of children is not okay. This really could be considered a type of bullying of a child by an adult. This reflects poorly on your store. It reflects poorly on Safeway as a company that someone with this lack of character and integrity would be promoted to manager. It also reflects poorly on the community of Gunnison. Because of this unprofessional behavior, my sons did not even want to be in this town. The type of unprofessional behavior exhibited by this general manager not only loses business for Safeway, but for the entire community. Anyone living in Gunnison or working for Safeway should be concerned that this GM could be losing income for the store and community. Again, making fun of a child is not the result of having a bad day or a lapse in judgment. This is a lack of character in a leadership position. The coworker he was making the joke to was much younger--looked like a teenager himself. This is setting a bad example and encouraging a younger employee under his supervision to engage in disrespectful behavior. I am updating this two weeks after the original post and original response from Dawn M. I have submitted a complaint online, contacted their chat, and wrote a letter--no response from anyone at Safeway. I did request a response. This, along with Dawn M. providing a generic (likely cut and paste response) seems to suggest that Safeway is not really concerned that a manger though it okay to make fun of a child and make fun of customers related to COVID. Dawn M.'s response seems to be about impression management instead of commitment to addressing legitimate issues. I will not be shopping at Safeway stores. Less than 3% of my reviews are 1 star reviews--it takes a lot for me to give this poor of a review. In over 50 years, I have written complaints to stores less than 10 times and never followed up asking for a response. But I've never experienced a store where a manager made fun of a child before or where a big chain would not care about something like this. read more

I enjoy shopping at our local Safeway because of the friendly cashiers, and ability to find what I want quickly. The store is small, but the inventory is sur-prisingly good! I always find the basics, the aisles are not crowded, the produce department is beautifully arranged. I don't expect a "big store" inventory at Safeway, but I also don't have to struggle with lots of carts, pushy shoppers, etc. Today my cashier was Kyle, new to this Safeway, a college student, very polite and helpful. I decided to post a review after reading the others on this website. Enjoy the quiet and slower pace of Gunnison! If you need or want the big city experience, shop somewhere else. read more

Since the Gunnison Safeway hasn't been reviewed in over three years, I thought I should give it a go. Unfortunately, I don't have much good to say about it. I just stopped in for a few items and wasn't successful at finding a couple of basic staples. Dinner rolls--you'd think there would be a selection but I couldn't find a one--not fresh, not frozen. Milk, in the half-gallon whole variety--everything on the shelf had expiration dates of just three days out. Pass. Compared to the City Market (the other grocery store in town) this Safeway is old and dated. Not very busy either. Now I know why. read more

I would like to say Safeway has gone down hill.

I have been to this store several times and I must say that when I checked out, Erica Widener, a manager, didn't even acknowledge me. She bagged my groceries without even looking at me. When a bagger came to assist, Erica decided to instruct them on how to properly hang the bags etc.. then Erica attempted to bag my meat with my dry products. Finally, I told her, "I prefer my meat bagged separately from the rest of my groceries." At the end I said, "Hi Erica, how are you doing today", which would be what I would expect from her, seeing that she is management and would have the basics of customer service mastered. Such wasn't the case. It was amazing to me how friendly Erica was to the customer prior and after my checkout. Duly noted. I can go to Montrose to shop at Safeway. Thanks for the poor service Erica, I will definitely pass it on. SHAME ON YOU! read more

This used to be the main place to do grocery shopping in Gunnison, but thankfully the City Market is available. This place looks old, feels old, and is just outdated in general. Selection is not bad for being this far away from civilization, but still, it's Safeway. read more

Best Safeway experience I've had in a log time. Super friendly people and was so old school I thought I traveled back in time and it was refreshing!!!! read more

Transported back to the 50's. This store looks old. Small deli, decent meats, typical morgue. Excellent selection of identical beers with different brand names on them, but nothing darker than an amber. read more
