Thank You Dawson Creek!

The employees and management of your Dawson Creek Safeway were delighted to learn they had been chosen for the People’s Choice Awards in four categories.

Best Produce, Best Super Market Deli, Best Biscuits/Rolls and the Cleanest Store We really could not provide the exceptional service and world class products in all our departments without everyone’s contribution. The Peoples Choice Awards is really a chance to highlight some of the very special departments and employees we have at Safeway. We are very proud of all our departments at your Dawson Creek Safeway.
