It features a full-service pharmacy, expanded Starbucks and seating area, designer floral department, an expansive wine and craft beer area and a full-service sushi counter.

“We’re thrilled to unveil this beautiful and highly upgraded Safeway store to residents in Peoria,” Carl Huntington, the president of the southwest division for Safeway, said in a press release. “This upscale Safeway will give shoppers the finest selection of foods, along with a great experience each time they visit us.”

More than 150 people have been hired to work at the new store.
