Re: NEW: Shreveport, 1925-2020
Kroger never bought the cafeterias. They continued as Big Chain for a while, then were bought by Brookshire's, who ran them until 1990-1991. Actually, I'm almost certain I ran into a newspaper ad for the cafeterias that listed them as a division of Kroger. I'll see if I can find one and post it. Up...

Re: Safeway-Santa Clara-3071 Stevens Creek Blvd. (Valley Fair)-Store Is Closing
It's listed on the page for San Jose proper because that's how it was handled in the city directories of the time:

Re: Purity Store-Hayward, Calif.-Main and C streets (SE corner)
Hmmm, as I’ve noted before, wouldn’t it be great if there were a website that documented chain supermarket locations like these with the Bay Area as one of its focus areas?

Re: Sports Basement in SF Presidio - what grocery was here before?
Since it's on land that used to be an army base, I'm guessing that it might have been the PX.

Re: NEW: Québec City, 1935-1976
Québec City directries are here . They're bilingual from the outset, but are pretty much French-only by the 1950s. Québec City never really had the anglophone population that Montréal did. The big issue is French word order for both street and store names. Instead of, say, "Tremblay Foods"...

Re: Mystery restaurant with frying pan-shaped sign
For the record, I had no idea about the Mary Brown’s connection in Canada. I was just in Toronto two weeks ago and stopped in a Mary Browns. Great chicken, and yes, it did taste like my childhood memories of Golden Skillet.
So anyway, thanks for that pointer!

Re: NEW: Winchester and Harrisonburg VA
I would guess the ABC application would mean it opened in 2008. It was vacant by 2011, which is earlier than the other Food Lion closures in the area.
