MILLBRAE

Safeway, Millbrae Square (525 El Camino Real)
This marina Safeway received a false front sometime in the 1990s, but has retained a true marina ceiling inside, and even (like the Marina Boulevard store in SF) has John Garth murals on its wing walls.

This QFI actually predated the Safeway in its shopping center by about a half-decade or so, but closed down in the early 2000s as Bell.
