Hi, It reminds me of the former Safeway in Seaford De, the current one in Easton Md and the former Safeway/Finast in Closter N.J.. I would say late 50!s, early 1960!s. Not all Safeways had barrel Roofs, or were Marinas.

I have seen Safeways of the period with sign posts just like the Fiesta in the picture. However, the Safeway in Closter had a Smaller but similar post( only one store in the lot). The store in Easton has the more traditional post and round Safeway exit and entrance signs. The ex Safeway in Seaford dosent have any street sign at all.

This is more of a mid-late 1960s design which was also seen on the west coast, more in Southern California than Northern.
