One D.C. supermarket to shutter, while another closes for renovations

D.C. residents around Georgetown and the neighborhoods due north will have fewer grocery options in coming months as one store closes for renovations and another shuts its doors permanently.

The Safeway on Wisconsin Avenue, known as the “Social Safeway” for the socializing that occurs there, is slated to close Sunday for an extensive remodeling as part of a plan to update the chain’s stores around the region.
