Re: Brea CA
Chick Fil-A officially opens Jan 13. Rite Aid is now Total Wine (a new chain similar to BevMo). Border's lost the Albertsons exterior as part of the remodel.

Re: Van de Kamp's Restaurant Sites
I always thought the Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant on Valley/Azusa in La Puente CA was a VDK or Alphy but it is not on the list in the previous post (from Esther Cramer's book). It sits in the same shopping center as the former 1950's-era Alpha Beta (now Bodega R Ranch) and according to the real est...

Re: Original Jack in the Box sites
There is a vacant red-and-black Jack's location in Oceanside CA on Mission Ave east of I-5.
Many red-and-black units still exist in Southern California today such as Covina (Grand Ave/Covina Blvd), West Covina (Amar/Azusa), and Rowland Heights (Colima/Nogales).

Re: Taco Bell Conversions
The Walnut/West Covina location (Amar/Nogales) looked exactly like photo #3 when it first opened. The interior has been remodeled twice during my lifetime - once as a bright mansion decor (casa) and now as a dimmed space-age interior which makes the interior look much smaller than the mansion decor)...

Re: Former Arby's locations
Alosta Ave near Citrus Ave near the Azusa/Glendora border across the street from Azusa Pacific University recently closed (I think it was in the middle of this past summer). This location had the large sign "Arbys Roast Beef is Delicious). I have a picture of that sign on one of my old cell pho...

Re: Contractors Warehouse/HDSupply, Pomona CA
HD Supply was part of Home Depot (hence the HD in the name) and a few years was spun off as an independent retailer by Home Depot and is no longer affiliated with Home Depot.

Re: Bristol Farms
Bristol was/is owned by Albertsons/Supervalu along with the one and only Lazy Acres store in Santa Barbara County. Though part of Albertsons, it operated independently and basic store supplies (especially price signage, free recipe cards, etc) did not come from Albertsons Printing & Supply in Fu...

Re: Does anyone remeber Fazios?
Go to the small Albertsons on Sierra Madre Blvd and Michillinda in Sierra Madre (north of the 210 Freeway). Its like you're stuck in the 1970's because the decor was originally a Fazio's. Albertsons acquired Fazio's in 1978 and kept this particular store as is. When I visited that store last year, i...

Re: HOWS closing all but one site
Dean, ValleyMax in Escondido was a Ralphs with a similar exterior to Rosemead Supermarket. Do you remember DiHo Market in City of Industry on Gale (a branch of the store that was popular in Monterey Park in 1989)? I thought it was the Alpha Beta/Ralphs/Fresco building, or it might be one of the stri...

Re: CLAREMONT CA--Albertsons site closing
Jimenez Ranch Market on Indian Hill and San Bernardino Ave was a '60's era Alpha Beta, but that area is Pomona and not Claremont. At one time, there were 4 Alpha Beta/Albertsons/Food4Less lineage stores along about 2 miles of Indian Hill Blvd in the Claremont/Pomona area; - Boys/Food4Less (now El Su...
