The Safeway neighborhood grocery store here in Walnut Creek has closed its doors after 50 years. It was my go-to location to buy yogurt and bananas to help me through days when I would miss lunch. Safeway is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, just a few miiles from our project office here in Walnut Creek. Safeway is actually in private ownership as of January 2015 after a buy-out by private equity investors led by Cerberus Capital Management.
