This is a good local grocery store in Arnold. It has a really nice seafood department and deli. The store is clean and the service is friendly. Lots of great deals here.

This Safeway is great... clean, easy to navigate, and even has garage parking for those rainy days so you never even have to go outside. The family appreciates the Starbucks inside, and customer service also does sodastream exchanges. They continue to update the store based on customers needs/trends. A go-to resource.

Very nice its nice i see they have security now. It was too many loiterers before. I wanted to give it another try. I love their produce department everything is so fresh looking and seafood department is nice as well. Unfortunately their checkout is a bit of a disaster. Only 2 cashiers and 5 self checkers. Overall everything else has been a good experience lately.

Closest store to my house. Giant is better and Harris Teeter is *way* better, but they are far compared to the 1/4 mile walk to get here

A crowded store and not well thought out in placement of things. Just MHO since I dont live here. I moved away in 2013.

It would be nice to know our local stores care enough about their customers health that they would at minimum provide hand sanitizer and wipes at the checkouts. Apparently management is under the impression the pandemic is over. You never see anyone wiping down carts or self check. How about do the right thing and spend a few bucks and provided just the basic sanitizer to your customers?

This store has an on-point produce section. you can just pick up a pack of grapes or strawberries and they will all be good. this is not usually the case at other local grocery stores, so if i am going to buy alot of fruit or vegetables i come here. this store also stocks brands that giant does not (like rolaids) which is appreciated. was able to find items here that have been out of stock at giant for weeks (snack bars, capri sun, lunchables). its smaller than other local grocery stores, so there isnt always the variety but i can always find what i need.

New larger more accessible Customer Service area, with new marketing point of sale areas throughout store creates more spacious aisles! This Safeway goes all out for every major holiday with great balloons, flowers and more. See my pics of the newest autumn offerings. ❤️

I got these cookies from Safeway and they were littered with fly eggs. It was so disgusting. There are flies breeding all over these cookies. Its nice Safeway is open 24hrs but I would be extremely careful buying food from here. This isnt the first time something gross has come out of there.

Be ready to spend if you buy groceries here. Most goods and produce are marked up significantly higher than other grocery stores. Many items are twice as expensive as they are at some of the other grocery stores in the area. I stopped buying the majority of my groceries and home supplies from this location because a lot of the foods I enjoy can be purchased for half the price at the Giant down the road.

Some of the employees arent nice. The floors need some scrubbing clean instead of just being swept and mopped. Sometimes the fruit is good and sometimes the fruit is not good quality.It would be really, really great if your Safeway Card Automatically got the Just For U Discounts INSTEAD of having to go online EVERY Time to scan through the many, many items and having to click on items to get the Just For U discount.It takes a long while to do that!! Plus you have to go through sections of it Even If you are Not going to get those products! For example, I do Not have a cat or a dog but I have to scan through all of those items to get to the next section. For example, I dont have a little baby but I have to scroll through all of the baby/toddler items to get to the next section. The Arnold, Maryland Safeway Store does Not sell Beer or Wine But....... I have to scroll through all of the Beer and Wine items to get to the next section.Instead of HAVING TO go online to do all of this, the Just For U discounts should be Automatically Uploaded in your Safeway Card. I am a Frequent Shopper at Safeway in Arnold, MD. So I have to go online All of the time to do this.The Rewards sometimes seem like they dont go through online in the Just For U online. Ill see on my receipt that i have a couple hundred reward points But i dont see them online. So I Cant use them which is Very Disappointing!!At the cashier section, the cashiers should clean their black conveyer belt Way More Often!! When Im in line paying for my items, the Conveyer Belts are pretty Dirty!All of the Yogurt in the store (every single kind of yogurt!!) Should Be Thoroughly Gone Through!! There are a number of times I find Expired Yogurt on the shelves!

Last visited May 29th and the lady supervising the self checkout was not wearing and mask and coughing the entire time I was checking out. She wasnt covering her mouth, and she was walking to each check out stand touching the screens. At one point she was standing directly behind me watching me ring up my items!

Very clean and friendly employees. The employees are very helpful if you ask questions and don’t have attitudes about customers asking questions like other places(Walmart, sun valley geresbecks,etc) I would absolutely recommend this Safeway compared to other grocery stores.

Review №48

This is a cruel joke to the residents of Arnold. The layout makes zero sense, even as a semi regular customer I’m constantly trying to find things. You have to check dates on everything, I’ve wasted so much money buying things that shouldn’t have been on the shelf. To be fair, our area is sort of deprived of better grocery stores. When we visit family in Northern Virginia all their grocery stores are amazing compared to most of ours. It will do in a pinch but I’m usually disappointed when I need something specific

The Safeway crew was on point even in all this chaos. Literally had everything we needed. All the employees were obviously tired but that’s expected due to the current outbreak. But on top of being tired every one was very nice. Upon walking in there was a boy sanitizing carts which I was impressed with knowing they are taking serious precautions you are all appreciated on my family’s behalf thank you!

This is a quaint store with the necessities for daily living. This location has undergone many changes and all for the better! While this store is not a big as others it has everything you need to make dinner, get the kids lunches, or stop by for a quick grab and go. Parking is tight but free.

Out of this world service. I had a last minute idea to throw a big party for my wifes birthday and the little cake I previously bought wasnt going to do. Stopped in at the bakery just to see if there was anything I could do and lady working the bakery threw a full sheet cake together for me and did an AMAZING job with it in less than 30 min. I rarely find customer service like this in chain stores or in Maryland in general!

Review №69

Absolutely dreadful pharmacy, would give a negative star. This is a service industry, nothing special about a pharmacy. Put white lab coats on a pig it doesn’t make her a doctor. Couldn’t be bothered to ask for my discount card, she gave me a price. I gave her the card and she asked me if the price was higher (after reinserting my card) was I willing to pay? She had to go back to the screen, reinsert my information. Almost 4 key strokes worth of labor. Hard to get her to focus she was too busy talking with her assistant. Won’t go back, although it is a bit of a bother to provide a new pharmacy to my medical provider, there are just too many pharmacies to put up with pitiful service. My refusal to use substandard Safeway Pharmacy won’t bankrupt them but many will tire of poor service and move.

Limited selection. I often run into expired items on the shelf. Popular items are often sold out. Cashiers and managers have no sense of urgency. The deli is as slow as molasses. The only good department is the seafood department. But easy if you have kids to park in the basement though and is the only reason I go there.

Review №77

Every safeway Ive been in has a very limited selection of items on the shelves and they never have enough registers open to accommodate the customers. They should invest in a company wide point of sale system so they can get informative metrics on when to staff their locations . If they already have this technology, they should start using it.One thing they are good for is fresh protein. Their steaks are always good and the seafood is always fresh.

Review №79

The lines for the register are always long when I go because they dont staff enough cashiers at busy times (even when its slow, sometimes Ill wait for over 10 minutes because theyve got one slow person), and the self checkout constantly stops to have cashier approval for things. I dont have these issues at any other grocery store I go to in the area.

Review №85

The produce is a hit or miss and the meat is way overpriced. However, the prices can be great if you use their rewards system Just for You. The management staff at this particular Safeway is not very good, but the staff roaming the floors are usually helpful. I prefer the Safeway in Annapolis. They do have a coffe shop in the front and very nice and clean restrooms.

Review №86

Unfortunately, today I bought red grapes from the store and when I got back home I found grapes moldy and smelled very unpleasant. I went back to the store again and was surprised by the way she spoke to me and the inappropriate way for the employee there and told me that she would not return it to me even though I paid seven dollars for moldy grapes. I am very sad because this is what they did shameful and inappropriate. Unfortunately, there is no longer any respect for the customer in addition to the money they received in exchange for something that would make you sick

Review №88

ABSOLUTELY AMAZED ANYONE COULD GIVE THIS PISS POOR MISS MANAGED STORE A POSITIVE REVIEW. IVE LIVED IN THIS AREA FOR 62 YEARS AND THIS FAIRLY NEW SAFEWAY IS THE WORST !! FOOD POISONING FROM A BIRTHDAY CAKE THAT PUT ME IN THE ER, BUSTED UP BAGS OF POTATO CHIPS ALL THE TIME AND THE RUDE IGNORANT STAFF ALONG WITH MANAGEMENT IS UN BELIEVABLE. THEN THERES THE NIGHTMARE OF CHECKING OUT FOR THE FACT 12 CASH REG. AND ONLY 2 PEOPLE WORKING. AND SELF CHECK OUT THAT HAS BROKEN CARD READERS AND WAS TOLD WILL NEVER BE REPLACED. ONLY REASON I TOLERATE THIS NIGHTMARE PLACE IS FOR SMALL IDEMS BECAUSE I LIVE A BLOCK DOWN THE ROAD. WILL NEVER EVER DO MY MAIN SHOPPING THERE. BELIEVE ME. ONE HALF DECENT GIRL THERE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS MANAGEMENT IS HORRIBLE AND NO ONE THERE LIKES THEM.

I used this Safeway as my florist for my wedding day. I worked with Jamie who was fantastic! She listened to my vision and came up with beautiful arrangements for the bouquets, corsages and boutonnières all for a very reasonable price! I would highly suggest Jamie for anyone considering flower arrangements for an event!

I like our local Safeway. Went for seafood today. Store is clean, neat and has most everything you need. However today I was a little disappointed I was there about 2 weeks ago to buy Phillips cream of crab soup. When I went back today they did not have it. They had s verity of Phillips products. I hope this is not a permanent change by the store because I live for the cream of crab. Safeway will still be my go to in our area.

They have done a lot to fix it up recently, now the staff are actually nicer to you and you dont see moldy food in the produce section. However they still need to do a lot about their reputation as the unsafe-way. I should point out that we have started shopping here for last minute items because it was close when before we would drive further away because of the service and because of the food quality.The parking lot is the reason for the four, still a lot of weird things happening there....
