Los Angeles County CA:
Alpha Beta - integrated into Ralphs/Food4Less
Smith's Food & Drug Centers - integrated into Ralphs/Food4Less
Lucky/Gemco - integrated into Albertsons
Safeway (SoCal Division) - integrated into Vons/Albertsons
The Market by Superior - the small-format version of Superior Grocers that had 2 locations (La Mirada-now Northgate and Mid City LA (former independent called Washington Square Market). I think they modeled it after a short-lived Vons/Safeway experiment in Long Beach called "The Market By Vons" that Albertsons tried out after the merger with Safeway.
Gigante Supermercado - integrated into El Super/Smart & Final (this was how El Super entered the SoCal market scene in 1997)
Fresh & Easy - many former locations became Dollar Tree, Grocery Outlet, or other type of retailer. One location in Baldwin Park became an Adult Day Health Center and one of their smallest locations on La Brea Ave became a Safelite Auto Glass office.
KV Mart Company DBA Top Valu Markets/ValuPlus Food Warehouse - most locations sold to either El Super or Superior Grocers. A location in Temple City became the asian grocer Global Fresh Market.
Solanki Company DBA Bestway - entirely shuttered
Max Foods Grocery Warehouse - former price-impact warehouse division (ran the Max Foods/Monte Mart/Grocery Warehouse/SuperSaver banners as well as the reborn Lucky and SuperSaver within its new subsidiary "Extreme Inc") of Albertsons (had the former Thriftimart in West Covina CA that is now Northgate. The Montebello store converted to Albertsons after the Lucky merger in 1999).
Hong Kong Supermarket - changed owners and rebranded as Good Fortune Supermarket. Another family member created HK2 Food Districts (integrated into Great Wall Supermarket). It is often confused with an unrelated Korean chain in Los Angeles called HK Market (Hankook).
Louis Foods (2 locations - East Pasadena (now a jumbo CVS Pharmacy) and West Covina (ex Kroger Market Basket/Lucky, now Marukai Tokyo Central)
Fedco - sold to Target in 1999. The food spaces at the Ontario store (now the city's Police headquarters) were located near the exit and was setup as a mall-style court with grocery, produce, and meat/seafood and a booth space rented out to an independent knife sharpening technician.
Price-Rite (Azusa CA) - this was a short-lived franchise of the east coast Price-Rite chain. It is now a Vallarta Supermercado.
