AVIS Grocery Store
Posted: 22 May 2007 03:53
Hey all! I had a customer come in with some very interresting items (i have a ebay consignment store). He brought in some books from the late 1800's which included a "city directory" for the city of Pomona. I was looking through the book which had pictures and came across a grocery store called "avis". I was totally surprised. I had never thought of any grocery stores before Safeway. I always saw Safeway as the first grocery store ever (although I know it isnt) does anyone know the history of this store? There were a lot of advertisement in the book that were Avis.
A lil off topic, but the bag he brought the book in was a pastic Luckys shopping back I think from the 1970s or earlier. THe bag features "lady lee" store brand frozen goods. If there is any interrest I can scan the pics of the book.
