Re: Possible Safeway?
Found proof that this was a Safeway back in 1959! (The rock faced walls on the front exterior were the other hint)

The shopping center and area look so modern on Google Street View I would have never guessed it was 1950s-era.

Re: Carpenteria Vons (Marina Safeway) sold to Haggen
To answer the latter, both Albertsons and Safeway are affected (though notably there are very few divestitures in Northern California).517634 wrote:So this is the official list huh...
Any idea on when this will all happen? Also is Albertsons divesting any stores, or is it just Safeway?

What era is this Safeway lettering from? (Casper, Wyoming)
While looking up some of the Safeway locations that are slated to be sold to Haggen, I found this one in Casper, WY:

It seems to be a compressed version of the font used in the late-70s/early-80s (before the switchover to the square S).

Re: Thrifty (and Other Rite-Aid Legacy Brands) Ice Cream
From everything that I've seen (at least in California), the only Rite-Aids with an ice cream counter are converted Thrifty's. PayLess never had them, and Rite-Aid never went to the trouble and expense of putting them in where they didn't already exist. I know of at least two newer Rite Aids from t...

Apparently the supermarket reopened in another location:

Millbrae Marina replaced with new lifestyle Safeway
This happened late last year/earlier this year but I hadn't posted about it yet. New store has ground floor parking/second floor supermarket space, and the mural that adorned the older building was relocated elsewhere in the structure.

Re: Former Arby's locations
The Arby's near me in eastern Sacramento closed about a year ago under rather odd circumstances (seems to have been a lost-their-lease situation).
