I worked for Sprouse Reitz in the Mid-80s - In Mt. Shasta and Weed CA. It was my first job while I was still in HS.
Late last year, for the first time in decades, the former Sprouse space is now occupied by a Planet Fitness.RandallFlagg wrote: ↑19 Jan 2007 21:35 I remember Sprouse Reitz in Alta Loma. It was built new on the northeast corner of Baseline and Carnelian. It was next door to Stater Bros. There were other five and dimes in the area during the 70's and 80's. We had a Ben Franklin's on the southwest corner of Baseline and Carnelian next to Sunrise Market [which the last I saw was a Smart and Final], a Cornet on the northeast corner of Foothill and Euclid [its full footprint is part of Chick's sporting goods] and a TG&Y on Foothill Blvd next to Mayfair. They were located on the southside of Foothill between Hellman and if I remember correctly Tryon. When I moved to Victorville in 91, there was a TG&Y still here on LaPaz. The shopping center had a Builder's Emporium, Vons, and TG&Y. The Vons is now a 99 cent store and the BE is a swap meet. Lastly, I went over to the old Safeway center in Apple Valley to see if I could get any pics, but the center is so run down it didn't seem worth it.
