Re: NEW: Safeway in NYC

Was "Safeway-First National" actually used on stores, or was it used to advertise both store brands? I honestly cannot say. Newspaper ads and articles refer to them as "Safeway First National stores" (or sometimes "First National and Safeway First National stores") thr...

Re: NEW: Safeway in NYC

I am pretty sure that 4028 E. Tremont Ave. store in the Bronx was an A+P. From the look if it today I'd say you may well be right. Looks like A&P may have taken over the space after Safeway was done with it in the 1940s. May even be a new building. And thanks! There will most likely never be a ...

I used to walk by it everyday as a kid from the nearby P.S. 72 elementary school.

Re: "End of the line" supermarkets

https://www.groceteria.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Binder1.pdf Treasure trove of information! Also, how about Westward Ho Markets in Los Angeles and beyond in California? So does Hills Supermarkets (before and after Food Fair) in the northeast not count? And Fox Markets (before and after Food Fai...

Re: Super Fair, Los Angeles

Sadly, due to some work projects, I've been at one of those points where stringing actual sentences together for fun is beyond my capacity right now. Sigh...

Re: Super Fair, Los Angeles

I'm only able to find evidence that two of these ever existed: the one above in North Hollywood and another at 18300 Vanowen in Reseda (now the site of a Ralphs in what is likely a new building). They seem to have closed in 1972 along with rest of Food Fair's stores in the region. It looks like the...

Re: NEW: Ventura/Oxnard, 1924-1981

Apparently Fox Markets took over the Santa Cruz Market at 752 A Street in Oxnard in 1959 and then basically took it back late in 1960. Can't find an article explaining why. Santa Cruz also took back another store (1924 E Main) they had offloaded on about the same timetable. Interesting for sure! I ...

For your Saturday afternoon viewing pleasure, it's back to SoCal: https://www.groceteria.com/place/california/ventura-area/ Be forewarned that some of the Google Maps links for Main Street in Ventura insist on pointing to Main Street in Santa Paula even though the correct, valid addresses are in th...

Re: Big list of discount department stores

Hey guys, I made a Google Sheets list of discount department stores and where they used to be located. I know its not supermarket related (unless you count the discount subsidiaries of grocery chains like Grand Way etc.) I tried to put every single location of every discount chain that I could find...

Re: NEW: Napa Valley, 1930-1979

Hmmmmmmmm..............

Is that Food Fair THE Food Fair?

If so, was it Fox Market before Food Fair? I do not recognize the architecture.
