Safeway located at 9125 E Tanque Verde in Tucson, AZ, offers a convenient and friendly grocery shopping experience with a wide selection of products. Customers can enjoy a variety of groceries, fresh produce, bakery items, deli options, and floral arrangements, including exclusive Debi Lilly Design™ products. The bakery provides customizable cakes and cupcakes, while the deli offers made-to-order party trays. The store also features a butcher’s block with meat and seafood, and a produce department full of fresh fruits and vegetables. For added convenience, shoppers can use the “Order Ahead” service to pick up bakery items or opt for grocery delivery to save time. Despite these positive features, some customers have expressed concerns. Many feel that prices are consistently high, especially for non-sale items, and note that post-COVID, the store’s produce and shelf stock have declined in quality and variety. Certain staples, like gallon-sized distilled water and on-sale milk, are often out of stock, and the floral department's limited Sunday offerings frustrate those shopping on weekends. Customers appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, acknowledging their politeness and willingness to assist. The store’s self-checkout options are also valued during busy times. However, there have been serious issues raised, including reports of unsanitary conditions such as bats outside and rat droppings inside the store, which have prompted health department concerns. Some shoppers also find store operations inconsistent, citing missing or unstocked items and overcrowded aisles. Overall, while many enjoy the friendly service and fresh produce, there is a shared desire for better inventory management and improved store maintenance.
This location never seems to have as many grocery options to choose from as other grocery stores or Safeway locations. Quite often they don't have something that I'm looking for that other Safeways do.
