“Nice grocery store, not the biggest but prices are reasonable and they had everything we were looking for. Small deli, and local wines (same prices as at the winery we had just come from). Really happy to have discovered this place. The gas station out front is a pretty good deal -- neither the most expensive or cheapest in the Chelan area.”

My soon to be daughter in law are of Mexican decent si I wanted to get some baked goodies. Ariana's didnt dissapoint with all cookies , cakes , turnovers we bought. Everything was still fresh and tastes good. If anything that would make it better ? Just some updgrades when you walk in . The store is dated yet clean and we were greeted with smiles.”
“Safeway in Lake Chelan is incredibly convenient and truly a staple in the heart of town. I love that it's so centrally located, making it super easy to walk to whether you're staying nearby or just out exploring. It’s such a great feeling to be able to pick up everything you need without having to drive across town—especially when you're on vacation or running quick errands. The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with a wide selection of fresh produce, pantry staples, snacks, and even local items. I especially appreciate how well-kept the bakery and deli sections are—perfect for grabbing something quick and delicious on the go. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, even during busy times. We stopped in several times during our trip and always found what we needed. The layout is easy to navigate, and there’s a great mix of name-brand and affordable store-brand items. They even have a solid selection of wine and beverages, which is a plus in wine country! All in all, this Safeway delivers great service, convenience, and quality right in the center of town. It made our stay in Chelan even smoother. Highly recommend stopping in!”
