Safeway is closing nine locations across metro Denver, citing non-profitability as the main reason for the decision, according to an internal communication.

Kristine J. Staaf, director of public affairs/government relations for Safeway confirmed the shutterings, after a year of trying to boost business.

“This was a very difficult decision made after long and careful deliberation,” Staaf said. “Ultimately, our business analysis indicated that we needed to cease operations at these locations.”

The nine locations will close on or about June 13. They are:

560 Castle Pines Parkway, Castle Rock.

3904 East 120 th Ave, Thornton.

12900 Zuni, Westminster.

16921 E. Quincy Ave, Aurora.

22675 East Aurora Parkway, Aurora.

1955 South Sheridan Blvd., Denver.

7500 S. Pierce Street, Littleton.

1730 S. Buckley Road, Aurora.

8200 S. Quebec, Centennial.

Staaf said Safeway plans on making, “every effort to place store employees affected at other area Safeway supermarkets.”

“Despite our best efforts of the company and our employees, we have not been able to reposition them to better compete in the marketplace,” Staaf said.
