All-American Superama Chain-San Diego Area-1959
Posted: 09 Feb 2011 05:19
All-American Superama apparently was a two-store grocery store chain in the San Diego area in 1959. An ad ran in the San Diego Union of Thursday, November 12, 1959.
The two locations of "All-American SUPERAMA" were:
(1) San Diego 5065 Logan, near Euclid and
(2) Lakeside Woodside & Channel Road
The chain's mascot (at least for this ad) was the “Bargain Bee”. The chain apparently centered its marketing on bees and honey. The ad trumpeted, “SEE … All American Superama’s Glass Beehive inside both of our markets … with 6000 busy Bees making honey right before your eyes! Stock up on our BEE-YUTIFUL bargains … ‘cause your All Americans are really humming this week.” -
A major item promoted in the ad was ‘superior’ brand honey – orange, clover, or sage. A 1-lb. jar cost 39 cents.
