Safeway Kenora is a clean store with polite cashiers and a large bakery, fresh produce department, and delicatessen. The fresh produce is often a highlight. However, there is a frequent lack of employees available to help customers find products, and it can be hard to find staff. The store layout is confusing for new shoppers, though some find the aisles intuitive. Prices are typically higher and the store is considered expensive, but this is seen to match the quality of food, which is described as absolutely delicious. A key feature is its boat ramp, a valuable last stop for boaters, though the docks require maintenance when water levels are low.
