A partial ceiling collapse near the main entrance of the Safeway store at 152 Street and 88 Avenue Friday afternoon (Dec. 23) may have been caused by a frozen pipe that burst.

According to a Black Press Media freelancer at the scene, it appeared the front of the store was flooded.

The store was evacuated and has been closed indefinitely. According to a staff member, no injuries were reported.

Black Press has reached out to Safeway’s parent company, Sobey’s, for more information.
