“Dear PoPville,
The SW Safeway has been closed since 7pm yesterday? Has anyone said what happened?”
Another reader reported around 6:30pm last night: “The Waterfront Safeway just closed unexpectedly. The doors were shut for people trying to enter. Customers leaving said they were told it was for “a maintenance issue.”
