The new Safeway store under construction off Highway 305 in Poulsbo is now slated for a May opening, a corporate representative said this week.
The grocery and gas station was initially scheduled to open in December.
A new traffic signal is in place at the corner of Lincoln Road and 10th Avenue but hasn’t been activated. The gas station is also installed but won’t open until the store is finished.
Construction appeared to progress slowly at times this winter. The Safeway representative acknowledged some challenges with the hillside site.
We hope to have a full update soon. In the meantime, you can learn more about the project from our 2012 story.
