639 Cullum Ave? You're right; it was a Safeway.

Here's a place that I've been meaning to go take some photos of for a while now, but just today got over there with my camera. (click thumbnails for larger images) Exhibit A: The Saint Vincent De Paul Thrift Store on Sunset Boulevard in Renton, WA. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Vexorg/Sled...

The University of Washington library has a page with thumbnails with brief descriptions of random stores in the west, mostly grocery stores, such as the San Leandro Lucky;

Nice to see the outside of the Marina Safeway in PG&E's infomercial. Click on the CFL bulb, and look real close;

Good sleuthing, and good point. In that case, I know that this Thrifty opened November 1941, so the supermarket is probably not post-WWII like we thought.

I don't know where this was. Does anybody know if it was a chain?

'Thought it was interesting that there is a 1970's (?) Safeway at 437 S. King st. with all of the original exterior signage; circle S signs on each side, the widely-spaced "S A F E W A Y" letters on the front, and the tuning-fork street sign also topped with a circle S sign. Sorry I don't ...

Does anyone know if the QFC at 1531 NE 145th St. in Seattle a former Lucky location? The pylon signs along NE 145th St. and NE 15th Ave. look a lot like the freestanding three square signs Lucky used in the late 1950s and early 1960s, such as the Placerville store. From what I could see in a street ...

I have no idea where this is/was, but Thrifty Drug had a store in the Sunrise Pavilion (shopping center?).

3330 E. Flamingo Rd? Yes, that is a former Payless :)

By June 1976, there was also a Thrifty somewhere along E. Charleston Blvd. in Las Vegas. I'm wondering if that was the current CVS at 1812 E. Charleston Blvd?

i have always wondered what was at Decatur/Vegas in the big dirt lot, was the Thrifty there or where Habitat for Humanity is? The Thrifty is Beauty Supply Warehouse now, and still uses Thrifty's pylon sign. http://daplus.us/ShowPhoto.aspx?abi=5006E9A267B3DF10EC38A40EE18151A55D694555961C982679D592B0...
