Hello everyone, we're here at the abandoned Safeway on Northeast 122nd Avenue
in Portland, Oregon.
So let's go take a look.
This Safeway closed its door
in August 18, 2018.
Not sure when this was built.
But, I am gonna assume this was built in the early 90s.
So here's the inside,
as you can see.
Lot of boxes and pallets.
And no more shelvings.
All the lights are on, thankfully.
If you see the brown wall and the window
looking straight ahead,
that used to be a bank.
I believe.
Pretty much most of the Safeways has a bank in it.
Never came to this Safeway before but,
I think I remember seeing this one open...
back then.
And I'll tell you why this Safeway got shut down.
According to the article through the internet,
it closed down due to underperforming.
The reason wasn't given at all.
But, I do know the reason.
If I am correct,
this isn't the best area.
There are a lot of homeless people, everywhere.
Shoplifting incidents...
and an increase in disruptive activity outside the store.
So yeah.
Stuff happens.
And let's check the old entrance.
I also made a video of the abandoned Safeway at Raleigh West Shopping Center
in Portland, Oregon.
So if you guys haven't seen it,
be sure to check it out down in the description below.
And there is one more abandoned Safeway in the Portland area as well.
So here it is.
This is more a lot emptier except the stuff on the edges
compared to the other windows.
That's the best shot we have.
Of course, that gray flooring would've been the produce department.
Hopefully, this space gets repurposed at any time.
We used to have 5 Safeways in Salem.
But, we only got 4 left.
And by the way,
there was another abandoned Safeway in Albany, Oregon.
You'll never believe it.
It was an old school Safeway.
It opened in 1966
and got relocated in 1999.
After that, it became a dollar store for a short time
and it got vacant again.
And this is where the carts used to be.
Right now, the old Safeway in Albany
is now a motorsports store.
Again, there was another abandoned Safeway in Roseburg, Oregon.
Sadly, it got demolished.
It was sitting vacant since 2002
and the building condition was so bad.
The heck of the label scar!
Beautiful.
So let's check the other side.
And here we are.
I'm not gonna walk to far but, this is my last shot.
That's pretty much it for the abandoned Safeway.
Alright, that'll wrap up for the video
and don't forget to like, comment, share by doing so
and I'll see you in the next one.
Peace out.
