Temple City Ranch Market (Temple City, CA)
Even though I've lived in the area for about 20 years, I never noticed this market until one day when I took a different route home from work. It definitely looks like it was built as a market, maybe in the 50s? Any idea what its history is? It's located at 4819 Temple City Blvd., right on the corne...

REAL Service
REAL service would be if they provided free parking and a shuttle to Disneyland! :-)

Claremont Albertsons
I saw a Target ad in the paper the other today advising customers of the Sav-On pharmacy connected to the Claremont Albertsons that their prescription files had been transferred to the local Target pharmacy. So much for, "Sav-On--we'll always be here."

Davis
If there's a Rite-Aid where the State Market used to be, what went into the former Pay-N-Save, then PayLess in University Mall?

Davis Supermarkets
Just to throw in my two cents-- I lived in Davis from 1970-1974, and again from 1977-78 and here are the markets that were in town at that time: Safeway (two stores): University Mall (Russell Blvd.) and G St. Lucky: Anderson Rd. and Covell Blvd. Albertsons: East 8th St. near Pole Line State Market: ...

The store you're thinking of is http://www.sodapopstop.com/ on York Blvd. in Highland Park.

Early Alpha Beta
From the Groceteria article on the history of Alpha Beta: Albert and Hugh Gerrard had been operating food stores in Southern California since 1900 and had been early adopters of a self-service system in 1914. Their Triangle Grocerteria (at 329 West Second Street, Pasadena) began arranging groceries ...

Coronet?
Are you sure you don't mean CORNET? I've never heard of Coronet.

Hinshaws-Arcadia
I think Burlington Coat Factory is only on the lower levels of Hinshaws-- there's a fabric store on the top level (at least last time I was in that area.)

Albertsons-Lucky Montebello
Max Foods, apparently, cannot become a Lucky store until they agree to close the Albertsons across the street. With both markets being busy, i dont think they are willing to do this. Why would they have to wait until Albertsons closes? They're both owned by SuperValu -- what would be the problem wi...

Closed Vons-Arcadia
I was driving down Foothill Blvd. in Arcadia yesterday and noticed that the Vons there (in the shopping center with Rite-Aid, KFC, et. al.) is closed. It was an older, smaller store that seemed pretty outdated every time I was in there. It's across the street from a Ralphs and a mile or two away fro...

Gemco to Target
The other Target in Sacramento (Madison at College Oak) was also a Gemco; I used to live right behind it (1976-1978) and I bought all of my gasoline at the Gemco gas station. Was the Target that used to be on Azusa Ave. in Covina (near where the Wal-Mart is now) ever a Gemco? I know that the other T...

Target-Duarte
Did the Target in Duarte ever operate as a Gemco? My understanding was that it was built to be a Gemco, but that the buyout by Target took place before it ever opened. I moved to Duarte in 1987, and it was definitely a Target by then, but I don't know what happened before that.

And. of course, that same "Are You Havin' Any Fun" ad (along with the one for "200 varieties of gift cards") is being run ad nauseam in So Cal as well, but as a Vons commercial.

Ralphs
From the caption to the photo: "the one story supermarket ..." Huh? How many two-story supermarkets are there? Do you think they wrote that because, as pictured in the photo, the building looks like it could be two stories?
