Sports Basement in SF Presidio - what grocery was here before?
I went to the Sports Basement sporting goods store a couple of days ago in the Presidio in San Francisco...and noticed lots of food-department labeling (i.e. Milk, Dairy) and a layout that unmistakeably used to be a grocery tsore! https://ir.4sqi.net/img/general/original/30332547_mvHx3SWLA3JZW_INldr...

Re: New location list: San Mateo County
Update on the former marina Safeway, later Pacific Super, at St. Francis Square in Daly City (1420 Southgate Avenue) -
Entire building has been demolished as of yesterday evening (3/15/23), as opposed to when the general shell was still up and gutted about 2 weeks previous.

Re: New location list: San Mateo County
Just saw on a mid-century modern group I'm in, a photo of the 1963-early 2010s marina Safeway in Millbrae when it first opened! (Got permission from the original image poster, Chris Rooney, to share this) I went here once in 2009 or 2010 when it was still a Marina, but with the opaque name panel on ...

Former QFI in San Francisco on Alemany Boulevard
Saw a few days ago that the long-running Pacific Super grocery store specializing in Asian products has closed their SF location: https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/bay-area-pacific-supermarket-closes-17716616.php The article mentions this was built in the 1960s as a QFI (which I did not know until...

Re: Calif. Mtn. Safeway Location?
I saw a couple of folks in this thread messaged me about the 1976 Safeway map (which I scanned back in my college years at UC Davis, as it was in their library). Not sure if it is anywhere, multiple moves and computers and years later.

Two evening photos I took of the former Safeway (later Michael's until it closed around 2014-2015) at 818 West El Camino Real (at Hollenbeck) in Sunnyvale. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51945473976_4c861f25e6_5k.jpg _DSC8340 by Chris Sampang , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5194...

Few weeks ago I went to the Safeway on Homestead Road in Santa Clara, which looked unremarkably boxy at first... https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x808fca66c9b5197d%3A0xae635d254508dc7f!3m1!7e115!4s%2Fmaps%2Fplace%2Fsafeway%2Bhomestead%2Broad%2F%4037.3380642%2C-121.9755429%2C3a%2C75y%2C103.23h%2...

The Pacific Super in Daly City in a former Marina Safeway building has closed as of April 2021: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DalyCity/posts/10158209936243806/ This seems to have occurred not long after Korean chain HMart took over the former supermarket space on Alemany in SF that prior to the 20...

Re: Safeway, 30 Chestnut Avenue, South San Francisco
With the planned Safeway rebuild at the Spruce/El Camino White Front site (which had a store from about 1987-2014), I'm wondering how much longer the Chestnut Avenue store will hang on. I hope it sticks around for a while more as it has done decent business for a long time and isn't really near any ...

Re: White Front Stores
The former White Front in SSF (later Service Merchandise, Safeway, Longs/CVS, etc.) was finally demolished a few days ago, with replacement Safeway slated to arrive by mid-2023.

Safeway, 30 Chestnut Avenue, South San Francisco
This store is the grocery I go to the most and as the years have gone by, it serves as a time capsule of some sorts, with its 1980s decor package that has never been removed even after multiple Safeway remodeling packages (the 1990s pastels, the 2000s lifestyle variations, and the Albertsons-era bri...
