FAIL:
"In fact, when this shopping center opened, its anchor *was* Safeway, which was located along/in the part of the property now occupied by CVS and Trader Joe's"
Safeway was located where Total Wine, CVS, and Subway or whatever is directly located next to the CVS. The Safeway moved out to University Shopping Center (or whatever it is called) at the intersection of Old Lee Hwy and Main St in the mid 70s and Sloan's Furniture was the first store located in the "old" Safeway.
The Giant Employment office was for all the store located in N. Virginian not the one across the street. On a different note that Giant was either the 3rd or 4th one that opened in N. Virginia. I realize that the Dutch have fucked shit up in that store, like raising beer prices beyond the reach of mortal men.
