pantry supermarket in Santa Ana, Calif.
the only Pantry Supermarket that I can remember was located on North Bristol St. (don't remember the cross street) in Santa Ana, Calif. and I think that it was a mile or so north of the Honer Plaza Shopping Center and I remember this store sometime in the 1960's.
