The Incredible Shrinking Woman with Lily Tomlin opens with a supermarket scene. This was the Mayfair Market in Eagle Rock which was next to a Sav-On. The Mayfair is now a Super A market. There is a scene inside the market midway and then close to the ending is a chase outside in the parking lot.

The Ralphs in Reseda is a new building. It may be on the site of the old Dales, but this store was built in 1997 or early 1998.

The Ralphs store in Orange has the same kind of sign. I wonder how many stores had this. It's located at 1435 W. Chapman Ave.

I think this store closed in late 1996 or early 1997. I was working at the store on Chatsworth and Zelzah during it's construction in late 1997 and bought something at the Staples. Also this store had a remodel in 1993 only to be remodeled again in 1994 after the earthquake.
