Fred Meyer, 6th & Alder, Portland
I remember for many years, Fred Meyer advertisements would often list locations at the bottom of the page where items were not available. It seemed that on every page it would say, "Not available at 6th & Alder." Was the store at 6th & Alder a much smaller store than usual or was t...

There were quite a few strip malls in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho that at one time had both Albertsons and PayLess Drug. I have also seen a few that were Safeway and PayLess. There was one on State Street in Boise, Idaho as I recall where a strip mall (Plantation shopping center) had an Albertsons...

Rite Aid is actually right now doing a major remodel of its Longview, WA store which opened in the 1960s as a Pay'N Save store and did not change a whole lot over the years. There are still several large Rite Aid stores in Washington, Idaho and Oregon which were former Payless stores as well, some s...

I happened to visit the flea market at the old Centralia-Chehalis Yard Birds a few months back. I want to add that the grocery section is still in operation under the Shop 'N Kart name, and the theater appeared to still be in operation. Most of the original Yard Birds signs are still up as well. How...

Safeway logos
A Safeway near my home recently remodeled and has an updated "S" logo where the S is white and the squared area is red, almost a reversal of the previous logo. The Safeway letters are now black, and backlit with white at night. What year did Safeway switch from the round S to the square S ...

A few people have told me about a chain called Keil's which went away during the late 70s or early 80s. How big were they? As a side note, I was told one of the former owners of that chain owns the Fourth Plain Center in Vancouver, which is home to a Safeway that closed last year that started life a...

The first Albertsons was located at 16th and State Streets in Boise. The original store was replaced at the same location sometime in the early 80s and has since been remodeled. The shopping center nearby is also called Albertsons Market Place. There is a sign outside marking the location of the ori...
