Another longtime California supermarket is preparing to close its doors, leaving shoppers with one fewer grocery option in a community it has served for decades. The shutdown comes as Safeway continues to make changes across its Bay Area operations, including the planned closure of a separate food-production facility.
Safeway will permanently close its supermarket at 6150 Bollinger Road in San Jose on or around November 13, 2026, according to local reporting by SFGATE. The store has operated in the area for 57 years.
The location sits inside Orchard Farms Shopping Center near the Cupertino border. Its departure will leave the shopping center without its anchor tenant, raising questions about the property’s future.
