SAN FRANCISCO

Safeway, 3350 Mission (at Randall)
This example of the Marina protoype is currently being remodeled inside, but the exterior retains some of its older characteristics, particularly the classic "circle S" logo used until 1982.

Marina front, with newer SAFEWAY text
right wing, also with old Circle S sign
(Update, 11/27/06)  The Lifestyle remodel is now complete.  Looks like the original row lighting was removed in favor of hanging light fixtures, similar to those at the Marina Boulevard store.

Former Safeway, later MacFrugal's, now A. Silvestri, 2630 Bayshore
One of two Marina sites in San Francisco no longer used as a Safeway (the other being 345 Williams), this building became the showroom for the statue manufacturer across the street ca. 2000.  This was Safeway's southernmost site in town, as the Daly City border begins at the end of the store parking lot.

Former Safeway, 45 Leland
Deep in the heart of the Visitacion Valley's commercial district, this store (with its ornamentation) dates back to the 1930s-1940s.

Former Cala, 201 Leland
Just down the street from that former Safeway is a one-time Cala store, which looks very similar to the existing one on South Van Ness Avenue in the Potrero district.  (Per a thread at Groceteria, it turns out that that existing Cala is actually a former Siri's and Purity, while this store does not have either lineage.)

Former Safeway, later ABC Market, now FoodsCo, 345 Williams
The other marina Safeway site currently not used by the chain in SF, this one was taken over in 1991 by the predecessor company to Yucaipa (which held ownership of Cala/Bell at the time) and is now Kroger's low-price division, FoodsCo.

Not sure what this store may have been in the past, if anything other than FoodsCo.  This is a 1990s-era store, from some information at the Groceteria board.

Safeway, Market and Duboce
The flagship store was originally built with the "pylon" architecture in the mid-1950s, and reworked into the marina shape in the 1960s (though its arch, with its variable-width sweep, differs greatly from every specficially built marina store, which generally had a fixed-with arch).  With the closure of the Clement St. location in 1995, it is the only remaining store in San Francisco from that era of construction.  Unfortunately, the remodel resulted in the addition of a flat drop ceiling, obscuring the marina ceiling.

Safeway (demolished), 735 7th Avenue (between Cabrillo and Fulton)
This smaller Marina prototype lacks the external winged sections of every other specimen in The City, due to a smaller footprint.  Justin Karimzad at the Groceteria board noted this store is actually older than the Marina location itself; there were several wingless marinas built, including San Mateo (now demolished), Santa Clara, and Winnipeg.  As of 1/7/07, this store is now closed, to be replaced with a Lifestyle unit.  (The building was finally razed in early March 2007.)

After the Safeway on this site closed in 1995, Lucky showed interest in taking the plot, but no new store was built until the early 2000s, after the Lucky-Albertsons merger.  It was closed in mid-2006.

Safeway, 15 Marina Boulevard
The Marina Safeway, forefather to many others of similar design across the country, was built in 1959 and later made a cameo appearance in the classic Steve McQueen movie "Bullitt."  It has also earned the reputation as a supermarket where one can actually pick up a date in the aisles.  (That was a result of Armistead Maupin's "Tales Of The City" book series.)

Former Albertsons, Oceanview Village, Alemany Boulevard
A replacement for a 1970s-era Albertsons store that later was taken over by Lucky (until Albertsons reacquired it in the 1999 merger), this was another victim of the 2006 store closings by the chain.  The Rite Aid next door continues to operate however (that store replaced a Payless that had been part of this shopping center from its outset in the 1960s).

Safeway, Diamond Heights Shopping Center (New, 9/25/06)
From some records Justin Karimzad found, this store opened around 1965 and was one of the first "shakeroof" Safeways built (a motif more common later in the 60s and into the 1970s).
