Another supermarket has closed on Valley Blvd. This Lucky was previously a Max Foods, Grocery Warehouse and Fazio's market.
This store was always pretty busy, so I'm sure it was the changing demographics that caused the change.

Re: Lucky's Alhambra Closes
How many Luckys is SVU still running?
Clearly Lucky is their version of Super Saver or Max Foods: convert problem stores to this format to let them die. Just like American Stores and Albertsons did for many years with these secondary discount banners. Sad.

As far as I know, they have one in Van Nuys and one in South Gate.

Re: Lucky's Alhambra Closes
Cali-Mart (Asian American grocer) just had a Grand Opening in the former Max/Lucky. The entire store renovated, but some fixtures such as shelves remain from the Max/Lucky days. This ends 32 consecutive years of Albertsons/Supervalu operation (since the 1978 takeover of Fazio) of that particular space in Alhambra. The only Albertsons left in Alhambra is the huge Albertsons-Savon on Fremont/Commonwealth.
They compete directly against the 99 Ranch owned 168 Market (aka 99-168) at the old Crawford's Corner (former Market Basket/Vons) across the street.
