This store was purpose-built as a Safeway, replacing an older store on the same site, but it really doesn't look very Safeway-like. 2002 puts this store right between the "brick and block" stores of the 90s and the gabled stores of the mid-00s, but this store's design is just plain weird compared to most stores of either era, with turrets, canopies, and random windows to nowhere poking out from the facade. It's one of those buildings that I like for how strange they are, not for any real architectural element.
