1964 photo of marina Safeway interior, Sacramento
This photo is from page 16 of the November 1964 edition of Chain Store Age magazine...the question is, which of the two Sacramento marinas is it?

So far I only know of two...one is the most photographed example being at 2509 Fulton (at El Camino), which is actually in the unincorporated community (and possible future city) of Arden-Arcade, currently operating as Tognotti's Auto World. It's been Tognotti's since the mid-1970s.

The other is Market Basket (no connection to the old Southern California chain) at 3845 Marysville Road in the Del Paso Heights neighborhood, a few blocks south of I-80. (I think the address is a little off on the slideshow)

EDIT: This photo comes in from the December 1960 edition of Chain Store Age, pages 69-70. Since the article's focus is on a Sacramento Safeway manager and his approach to displays, I think the photos were taken at whatever store he worked at - and the date of this article suggests that this is the Marysville Boulevard store. Or at least that's what I'm conjecturing, because the Fulton Avenue marina (Tognotti's) has a design similar to the 1964 marina, now library, in Red Bluff.
