Celia Barba, a 19-year veteran Safeway Inc. employee, is the new manager of the Felton Safeway store.
Barba, who started her career as a “courtesy clerk” bagging groceries and collecting shopping carts in Davis, had been store manager in Pacific Grove and most recently was manager of the Mission Street store in Santa Cruz.
“I want to continue to operate a service-oriented store, a clean store where we keep our customers happy,” she said. “I asked to come here because the store has an awesome crew that’s community-oriented.”
The store has 52 employees and is part of a new emphasis on stocking locally grown produce, she said.
