Safeway to close 2 stores in Colorado Springs, 10 in state

Safeay stores closing

Two Safeway stores in Colorado Springs will close before the end of the year.

They are part of a larger, statewide closure which will see 10 stores close, according to information provided by Safeway to Gazette news partner KOAA. The two stores in Colorado Springs, at 5060 N. Academy Blvd. and 1425 S. Murray Blvd., will be joined by four in the Denver metro area, two in northern Colorado, and two more in Lamar and La Junta.

All stores are expected to close on or by Nov. 7, according to KOAA.

The first announced closure appears to be in La Junta, where the town shared an email from the grocery store chain announcing the closure.

That store, located at 315 W. 2nd Street in La Junta. It employs about 60 people, some of whom are represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 union, according to screenshots the city of La Junta shared on social media.

In a statement to KOAA, a Safeway spokesperson provided the following:

As part of our ongoing commitment to operational excellence and customer-focused innovation, we’ve recently unified the Intermountain and Denver divisions into the newly formed Mountain West Division. This strategic consolidation is more than a structural change — it’s a growth accelerator.

To fuel this growth, the Mountain West Division is taking several steps to integrate the team structures and store networks of the two former divisions. This includes Safeway closing 10 stores across Colorado, one in New Mexico, and one in Nebraska, all of which will cease operations on or before November 7, 2025.

We continuously evaluate the performance of our stores, and occasionally, after long and careful deliberation, it becomes necessary to make the difficult decision to close certain locations. We are working to place affected associates in nearby stores wherever possible.

Safeway has proudly served these communities for decades, and the decision to close these stores was not made lightly. With a focus on growth, these closures will enable us to continue investing in our store network and better align with evolving customer needs. Together, these changes position us to operate in new and innovative ways that foster customer loyalty and drive long-term success.

The following Safeway stores are closing on or before Nov. 7:
