I am curious to know if this store was remodeled to a Marina style store later on, what would have been the reason? Pretty much for the same reasons they continue doing so today: increased square footage, better layout, and updated appearance. Most older Safeway stores that are still open have been...

The glass-front, arched roof design is not really peculiar to Safeway. Any number of chains and independents around the country used some form of it; it was a construction-dictated design, as it allowed a large column-free sales floor. It's not really a stretch to go from the rounded-roof pylon stor...

Thanks. Any others? I leave on Saturday. Are any other Dominick's stores old and worthy of a look? Any neighborhood commercial strips I shouldn't miss? And what parts of Chicago should I flat out avoid? I've spent some time there in the past, but it's been almost ten years and I'm not usre how much ...

Connection Between National Tea and Big Bear/North Carolina?
Just wondering if any of you might have any knowlege if there was ever a connection between National Tea and the Big Bear stores of northern North Carolina. I keep finding snippets that refer to "National Food Stores" as the parent company of Big Bear/NC in the 1960s, but I know it was als...
