Kap's Kitchen and Pantry
Whatever happened to American Stores' Kap's Kitchen & Pantry Division? It opened its first store in Salt Lake City in 1996 and was described by the ASC CEO Victor Lund as a new supermarket concept. How many stores did this short-lived division have and did any store site become Albertsons? Also,...

Albertsons's Health and Home Division
American Stores started "Health & Home" home health care division within American Drug Stores in the late 1990's. They had a small chain of 25,000 sq ft of retail stores and selected Savon/Osco stores had a "Health & Home" department, which Albertsons added more departmen...

Gene Maddy Drugs owned by Kroger
Gene Maddy is a stand-alone pharmacy as far as I know it and it is on the paper you get from a Kroger-owned pharmacy. It may be part of the Payless Division. Supervalu's Farm Fresh unit operates a stand-alone drug store/pharmacy - inside a Virginia hospital campus's medical office building. I believ...

Ralphs subsidiaries - historic
Forgot that Hughes Supermarkets Inc was rolled into Ralphs Supermarkets Inc and dissolved with Alpha Beta/Boys/Viva/ABC. Somewhere out there is an old SEC 10K report with a full list of Hughes' subsidiaries. Artesia Quality Products was a subsidiary business - it listed its address on Private Select...

Crawford's
Socalgrocer was referring to the Crawford's on Valley at New in Alhambra. Kroger's Real Estate Department owns the site and is leased to 168 Market (Chinese, owned by 99 Ranch Market). CVS (former Savon) operates at the other end. The other vintage item besides the building is the parking lot street...

Kroger Pharmacies
Did you know - Kroger owns the 1-store Gene Maddy Drugs (I believe it is in the midwest). What's the history behind Gene Maddy and how did Kroger get a hold of that store - was it part of a former drugstore chain? Kroger never mentioned them on their website as a banner nor a corporate subsidiary. T...

Diamond Bar - Gibson Shopping Center opened in 1970
I have an LA TIMES article from 1969 that discussed the tenants moving into the Gibson Shopping Center (today's Vons/CVS on Diamond Bar and Golden Springs). Vons was (and still is) the original tenant but the CVS was interesting - opened as a Skaggs-Payless, which became Savon, and now CVS - basical...

Max Foods Montebello
Drove by today - entire front facade removed. Is it going to remain Max Foods or rename Lucky/Albertsons? I understand this was the last operating Max Foods in SoCal (under Supervalu). The "Max Foods" sign remains on the Montebello Plaza sign on Via Campo. No pharmacy? Maybe CVS next door ...

Dean, The Walnut/Diamond Bar Weekly this week has a story on the status of Country Hills. Facing the Auto Club office in what used to be the Ralphs/Alpha Beta will be an ethnic (possibly Chinese or Korean) supermarket, identified as only "H-Market". It is said to have a food court inside, ...
