New Safeway in Towson is Open

The new Safeway in Towson is now open! On Thursday, August 19, it opened its’ doors to an enthusiastic crowd of people.

I finally was able to get over there today, and it is GORGEOUS! The staff was so polite and helpful — the food selection great, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.

The funny part is that my May 6, 2010 post about the New Safeway in Towson in the Old CompUSA and Linen N Things Building has been wreaking a bit of havoc on my office since Thursday.

Since the Safeway is so new, it is not up on the Safeway website, nor is it on the Local Business Results in Google yet. The reason this has caused some issues, is that my blog post comes up at the top of the Google Search engine. People have been clicking on my blog and calling the only phone number they can find — my Keller Williams Timonium office. Needless to say, my office has been getting numerous calls from people trying to get more information about the Towson Safeway!

I ended up going back and changing that post, since we called the Parkville Safeway and they gave us the number for the new Towson one, so that people could call the right place to get the information they need.

Though I love the new Towson Safeway, I don’t have the answers they need — but I can help with Towson real estate!

New Safeway in Towson in Old CompUSA and Linens N Things Building

A new Safeway is going in on York Road in Towson in the Old CompUSA and Linens N Things building right by the on-ramp to 695 East.

Scheduled to open later this year, this will be the only grocery store besides Superfresh in Dulaney Plaza in the Downtown Towson area. *UPDATE! On August 17, 2010, the new Towson Safeway opened. My office is getting a lot of calls since their # isn’t posted online yet — I went today and got their # for my readers’ convenience. The Towson Safeway phone # is 410-296-2267. Thank you!*

The space is just under 60,000 square feet according to the Costar Group.

This is exciting news for Towson residents who have not had much in the way of choices for groceries in the Towson center. In Ruxton there is Graul’s and further east in Towson Place there is a Superfresh.

The new Towson Safeway will be in the Radcliffe Shopping Center, which currently hosts a CVS, Wachovia, & M&T Bank.

The new Safeway Supermarket in Towson is scheduled to open in Fall 2010.

A great additional reason to live in Towson!
