SAFEWAY
St. Helena, Sebastopol, San Rafael, CA

Midstate Construction is continuing its 50 year working relationship with Safeway Inc.; recently contracting to perform four-wall remodels in Sebastopol and San Rafael and a new store in St. Helena.

St. Helena #2605

The St. Helena store was expanded from 20,000 to 31,000 square feet. Midstate started by constructing additional square footage behind the existing store. Merchandise was relocated to the newly constructed facility. When the new addition was fully operational Midstate demolished the existing store. The front portion of the store was then constructed to complement the rear structure. This construction required expertise and precise timing, as the project had to be performed in phases to allow the existing store to remain open for business. Interior finishes were all upgraded, including new freezer and refrigerator boxes. The stonework on the front of the store was crafted using stones from local vineyards. Rough sawn Douglas fir timbers were used for the trellises at both the entrances and over the Pedestrian Plaza, a seating area located next to the store.

Sebastopol #0933

The Sebastopol store added 7,400 square feet to the store, providing stockroom space and an enlarged sales floor area. The interior upgrades include new flooring, larger freezer and cooling boxes for merchandise, relocation of the bakery, pharmacy, deli, meat and floral departments and a new banking facility. The colorful Craftsman façade of the building lends itself to the feeling of a quaint country market that's within convenient walking distance to the bustling downtown Sebastopol area.

San Rafael #0653

 

The San Rafael store added 2,700 square feet to the interior of the store, giving an overall square footage of 28,000. The focus of this remodel was to allow for more stockroom space and a larger sales floor area. Like Sebastopol, the interior renovations included relocation of the deli, bakery, receiving department, floral, meats and produce areas. The storefront entrance uses large windows to allow for more natural lighting inside the store. The use of block and new plaster work gives the perimeter of the store a very clean line. Architectural wood beams were used to emphasize the signature arched roof. Metal trellises with skylights adorn the two entrances.
