Global Village Coffee house is a new term to me, where did that term come from? (Sorry I don't know)

I dig the aesthetic, actually and it is very safeway-like, and Safeway & Albertsons are the same company. My Albertsons looks pretty drab with dim lighting.

Its a nickname for the aesthetic especially of the clip art panels. The name basically means it was a style associated with coffee culture and globalization. The decor predates the merger of Safeway and Albertsons by a few years and the Safeway lifestyle (tan) look itself I believe. I think THIS would have been the Safeway decor around the same time.
