This Safeway is a convenient neighborhood grocery store located at 5101 Wilson Blvd in Arlington, VA. It has a friendly atmosphere with helpful and smiling staff. The store has received a nice interior renovation and general facelift in recent years, including the addition of self check-out. While some note it is on the smaller side and can feel cluttered, it allows for a quick in-and-out trip for necessities. The store offers a good selection of guaranteed fresh fruits and vegetables in its produce department, which some find better than other nearby places. It features a butcher block with an assortment of meat and seafood, a deli with party trays and an Order Ahead service, a floral department, and a pharmacy. Services include Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™. However, some customers report issues like discolored meat, freezer-burnt ice cream, and a sometimes cluttered front area. It is a place that gets the job done for many, with a great wine selection, though some feel the prices can be high. The upcoming acquisition by Kroger may bring future changes.
I like shopping at 5101 Wilson, I like the people, I use the pharmacy but too many times there are mistakes in pricing on my receipt and I have to go back to get my money back.

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s just very consistent and less expensive than most of the other stores. Staff have always been helpful and kind.
