Dianna Erdesz Armanino
Gabriella Trujillo totally. I hate going into a parking garage and going upstairs to grocery shop. It’s annoying.
Donna DeMorest
I’ll believe it when it is done, and not before, this promise has been going on since 2014

Nancy Mascioli
Michele Salmon it needs a remodel, upgrade.
Michele Salmon
But with the new store, they will probably close it. So sad.

Linda Brown Moore
Ok, I’ve been gone way too long. As I remember the corners: See’s, gas station and kitty corner another gas station and the Brentwood parking lot (is the Brentwood Market and Brentwood Lodge still there?).

Bernadette Venoya Belluomini
Linda Brown Moore you have been gone for many years. The resturant changed hands at least 3x. Market has been gone for at least 30 years. A dialisis center, Goodwill and Smart & Final is where the market and drug store were. Sees Candy and the gas stat… See more
Linda Brown Moore
Bernadette Venoya Belluomini thanks for the info. Moved to So City when I was 7 and moved when I was 20. But went back every year till my parents moved out of state. I miss So City.!
Inez Cunningham
Bernadette Venoya Belluomini
You wouldn’t recognize it if you saw it now. All the high rise hotels on Airport Blvd, hotel on corner of Chestnut and Elcamino where the South City car wash use to be and the big new police station on opposite corner.
Bernadette Venoya Belluomini
Inez Cunningham I’m aware. Been living in Brentwood for 40 yrs.
Dale M. Scalero Sr
Linda Brown Moore, don’t forget there used to be a Safeway there before along with the Treasury

Lynn Carlson Bick
The Millbrae Safeway is over a parking garage. It Sucks !!
Replies:
Michelle Arduain Ourtiague
Lynn Carlson Bick I agree!!
Mark Ambus
Lynn Carlson Bick …. So will this one. Did you read the description at the heading where it says “located on a second story podium above covered parking”?
Ar Mondo
Lynn Carlson Bick I don’t like it.
Ar Mondo
Lynn Carlson Bick that’s why I don’t like shopping at the Target at Tanforan. It just doesn’t feel right.
Cheryl Camacho Herrera
Lynn Carlson Bick Agreed. Having to go to a 2nd level means a quick run to the supermarket will nolonger be quick.
————————————-
Phil Fioresi Sr.
Better late than never I guess, they will be doing the apartments right next door at the old theater. It’s going to be another nightmare for traffic parking and quality of life for current residents I imagine. Second only to the corner of El Camino and Chestnut.
Lorna Galvan Feger
It’s about time! That lot has been a major eyesore in our neighborhood for far too long!
Vivian Shatara Jisrawi
What will happen to the Safeway on chestnut?? That’s so old and run down!
Reply:
Michele Salmon
Vivian Shatara Jisrawi I love that store. It has the nicest employees and it is not too big to be able to find what you need.
Andrea Carey Villa
I like the covered parking. It’s great for windy or rainy days. Saves on land space too. City Council, please have the contractor finish it before 2023. The shopping center is much needed.
Lucinda Denning
Just a safeway? Should be more than that. Kinda lame
Freeman Cilla
Lucinda Denning read the post
Donna Moore Fentanes
Finally! Maybe a special See’s candies counter for convenience
Estrada LeAnna
I’m feeling hopeful about this. I have been traveling all the way to Millbrae Safeway for years
Karen Johanson
As other’s have indicated, I’ll believe it when I see it. This seems hopeful, at least.
Leo Libiran
Finally, now get rid of Smart & Final, Goodwill and dialysis place across the street!
Luann Dappollonio McCormick
I’ll believe it when I start to see construction

What no Safeway gas station… that would be convenient way to spend those gas points you punch in to get better prices.
JoAnn Willis
Took long enough to do that.
Patty Isham
Seeing is believing

Frank Lee
Fantastic. Unfortunately you can’t please everyone.
Safeway on chestnut is going to be demolished for housing. Across from court house Mission road 800 units housing approved. Traffic will be tough
I have been to an elevated Safeway a little ways down El Camino. You either have to send your cart down a conveyor and meet it at the bottom or take it in an elevator. Either way is a pain in the behind and I never went back to that Safeway again.
it’s to bad that they didn’t include the two low rent housimg buildings, that
was a win-win for everybody especially
or safeway talk about a captive market
