TC, check this out - it appears there was a Safeway. The doc with 1986 is about something else, not this particular store that Ffffford is referencing.
Here are some posts from the TC thread about the Safeway:

The Safeway thing came from Mark Judge’s book (and also Ford’s testimony). Plus Margot Cleveland (post right before yours) said that she confirmed the Safeway had 2 doors in 1982. Maybe same place, different name/owner? I’d really love for this to be right

Yeah
There was a Safeway grocery store there in 1982. Let me go back and find the building inspection report I saw yesterday (it was used to verify that there were two doors at that store in 1982). Safeway was taken private in 1986 after being bought by KKR.

FROM MARGO CLEVELAND THREAD:
16/ by 4 boys. Ford says: 15 by 1 boy & 1 bystander. Apparently, that’s close enough for government work, when you’re a Democrat! But no one is really focusing on this disparate but instead asking if Safeway had one or two doors in 1982! (It had 2-I’ve confirmed w/ sources).

Who is Margo Cleveland?
Margot Cleveland is a senior contributor to The Federalist. She is also a contributor to National Review Online, the Washington Examiner, Aleteia, and Townhall.com, and has been published in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Cleveland is a lawyer and a graduate of the Notre Dame Law School, where she earned the Hoynes Prize—the law school’s highest honor. She later served for nearly 25 years as a permanent law clerk for a federal appellate judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Cleveland is a former full-time faculty member and current adjunct professor for the college of business at the University of Notre Dame, where she received several teaching awards. As a stay-at-home homeschooling mom of a young son with cystic fibrosis, Cleveland frequently writes on cultural issues related to parenting and special-needs children.
River Falls’ first family moved into their Stable Lane home in May 1968, paying a sales price of $75,500. Many original purchasers were government professionals, lawyers, and employees of IBM, which had several offices in the Washington area. Early residents recall a feeling of isolation, with driving a necessity for shopping, entertainment, and to find friends for their young children. Residents trekked ‘downtown’ (Washington’s shopping corridor along ‘F’ Street) for clothing and other necessities at the department stores of the day – Woodward & Lothrop, Hecht’s, and Garfinkles. (The mammoth Tysons Corner Shopping Center would open in 1968 as well – radically changing the shopping landscape.) ‘The Village, – long known as the local shopping destination for Potomac dwellers, and located at the intersection of River & Falls Roads, was certainly functioning in the 1960’s, but with fewer choices than we know today. The District Grocery Store (‘DGS’) occupied the building where the Hunter’s Inn and Chico’s are now located; the Safeway would open its doors in 1968. A drug store and longtime favorite, The Surrey, were available, as well as the whimsically named ‘Happy Pickle Restaurant & Bar’ occupying the large corner house which sits on the southwest corner of the River and Falls Roads intersection (a building now occupied by the W.C. & A.N. Miller Co.).
Safeway must be wrong.
Someone should tell the FBI, never assume the will include this fact in the report. They really can’t be trusted
Actually it was there in 1982 as well.
nuch ado about nothing mark judge can tell where he worked and when..it does not corroborate chrissies story only possible timeline and in fact if she talked to him indicates he was not part of the incident. fbi needs to ask chrissie if she read judge book..or bought it...
Minor note about store names. Even if a store changes it’s name, one still calls it by the name one first knew it. Kind of like a habit. Although our local store is “Tops” we still refer to it as “Grand Union”
If that store became a Safeway in 1986, ffford would have mentioned the name used in 1982.
What was there before?
[To make sure the building as not just rebuilt or it was not a grocery store under a different name then.]

The #Safeway store
Probably because it wasn’t spelled #Safeway. Try correcting the spelling and try again.
And there is no #DrFord. Or DrFord. Or even Dr. Ford. Not a doctor at all, with or without a tic-tac-toe sign.
If the structure was there in ‘82, it is a meaningless bit of trivia.
Joe DiGeneva finally said what everyone is afraid to say last night on the Fox show with the bald guy who wears a t shirt and sport coat.
Ford needs help, she’s bat crazy.
Here is the thread.
Somebody in the area could ask residents and others to get a general picture, and then go to the local library microfilms of the local paper for confirmation.
The problem is that CBF has been back to the area periodically since the 1980s, and -- especially given the holes in her memory -- may remember the store based on its current or more recent name, and not on what it was called before.
