Greater WA Fred Meyer Stores with Home Improvement & Garden Centers
Posted: 26 Apr 2017 01:12
For all those of you living in WA outside of Vancouver -- does anyone remember which pre-1995 Fred Meyer stores in your area had Home Improvement & Garden Centers (full-on, with a lumber department) when brand new, or as an add-on during the late 1970s?
I know for sure the Lynnwood store, due to its massive 178,000 sq. ft. size (remember, that was in 1968!), definitely had an inside Home Improvement & Garden Center when new.
Greater WA Fred Meyer stores confirmed to have Home Improvement & Garden Centers:
1959 - Lake City (had a freestanding HI&GC in 1978)
1968 - Lynnwood
1973 - Tacoma-Pacific
1973 - Tacoma-Stevens
1974 - Bellingham
1975 - Everett
1980 - Totem Lake (Kirkland)
1981 - Richland
1982 - Lakewood
1987 - Benson Plaza
1987 - Marysville
1989 - Lacey
1991 - Federal Way
Ex-Valu-Mart/Leslie's stores (all acquired in 1975):
Aurora
Bellevue
Burien
Greenwood
Midway (Kent)
Spokane-Francis
Spokane-Sprague
Yakima
Which of the above stores had Home Improvement & Garden Centers?
