Newly completed renovations at the Middleburg Safeway put it on a par with Georgetown's "Social Safeway" as a modern, attractive, civilized destination where neighbors can meet and shop in an attractive, pleasant, friendly atmosphere.

Immediately upon entering, the pretty new flower shop welcomes customers to a bright, well-lighted environment that is carried out throughout the store. From the pharmacy to the deli, to every perishable area, it is clear that pleasing their customers has been the driving force behind the national renovation.

Mahogany, natural materials and recessed incandescent and halogen lighting create a soft, warm atmosphere for merchandise across the Middleburg store, and in addition to new shelving and merchandising displays, shoppers will thoroughly enjoy the increased variety of gourmet, deli and environmentally friendly items.

Fresh breads, exceptional desserts and personalized bakery items are now available as are many frozen items shoppers will now be delighted to find in their local grocery store. Cheeses from around the world, freshly-roasted chickens and custom flower arrangements for weddings, birthdays and special occasions are only a few of the many improvements now available to Hunt Country shoppers.

Safeway's continuing commitment to corporate citizenship is amply evidenced by the more than $19 million the company donated to charities throughout the Baltimore Washington metropolitan area in 2007. Employees at the Middleburg store have focused their community work on support for the town's Volunteer Fire Department, raising thousands of dollars for many years through the Because Safeway Cares program.

Safeway's Eastern Division employs approximately 18,000 people and operates 179 stores in that region. A Fortune 100 company and one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America based on sales, it is clear that Safeway is committed to its local communities and determined to provide customers with the very best amenities.
