Actually, even closer, I think, was the Franklin Boulevard store which was replaced about 1961 after the original store burned down. It's still a grocer too (King's, I believe), or it was last time I was there, at least.
Lee's Food King (not to be mistaken with King's in North Sacramento in the ex-Raley's gable). I've been in there a few times in the last month. (The people who operate LFK also own a former Mar-Val in Galt.)
2900 Freeport is 1.9 miles from that store, but only 1.5 miles away from the late-1950s wavy-awning store on Broadway.
I'm actually thinking though that the old Safeway that became the flagship Tower Records location (at 16th and Broadway) was what the Broadway/10th store directly replaced. Though it could have been built to consolidate both the Freeport and 16th locations.
