I found an old market at 11201 First Ave. in Whittier. It is now called the Ritz Ballroom. From the rear it appears to be a marina style. My first thought was Safeway but after looking at the sign on Leffingwell ave. I am thinking Albertson's.

It looks like a Marina Safeway. Would make sense if it closed around the time Vons bought Safeway since there is a Vons close by at the Whittwood Mall.

That store was a small Albertsons for many years. I think it closed in the mid-1980s.

Odd.

I lived in Pico Rivera in the late 1980s and spent quite a bit of time in the Whittier area and that Albertsons does not ring a bell.

It WAS an Albertsons in the 70s and early 80s.
My family did our wash at the laundromat in the same shopping center.
We would often buy detergent and snacks at that store. Or do some grocery shopping while our clothes were in the washer.
