I grew up in this area, so I do remember all of these stores. Thank you for doing this very interesting research on my old neighborhood! Some additional notes about these stores are: 12155 Central (at 60 Freeway) It opened around 1982 as a Market Basket. It became a Ralphs for a short while, and the...

Re: Vons stores with old interiors
The Vons store in Canyon Country (Soledad Canyon and Sand Canyon Rd) still has the old red and white interior. Word around town has it that the company is trying to buy up the land that is currently a drying up mobile home park across the street, and to build a new Pavilions on that lot. I would ass...

It is a former Boys Market. I grew up near that location (when the Sears was across the street), and remember the Boys market. I don't remember the Market Basket, but it probably was there. Indian Hill Blvd. has a rich grocery history. The location in the mall where the Pomona USD now is located was...

Chino Safeway
Chino: I'm going to guess that it's the one on the southwest corner, where the Smart & Final is. The last I remember it was an Alpha Beta. The Albertsons was built about 15 years ago as an ABS, not Lucky. This thread http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=30 says that the Gigante is a n...

The Vons in Chino on Central and the 60 Freeway was converted to a Pak n' Save in 1999, and closed in 2005. As far as I know, it was the only Pak n' Save owned bySafeway/Vons in Southern California. According to the employees, they ran it as a trial, to determine if the market was there for more Pak...

Williams Bros.
I do remember Williams Bros. They were a Central Coast grocery chain that operated in northern Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo (and maybe some other?) counties. I am familiar with the city of Santa Maria, and one of their former stores is still operating as a Vons, the one on East Main St. There w...

I remember Mayfair Markets! They had a store in Montclair, on Central Ave. and Benito St. They even remodeled it, but still we could never go there, because my mom thought their quality was way below Stater Bros., so I probably only went in there once or twice. Does the Mayfair Market in Silver Lake...

Market Basket Locations
I do remember few Market Basket locations in the Ontario/Chino area. One was on Mountain Ave. between 4th St. and I St in Ontario. After MB left, it became a Boys Market, then a House of Fabrics, and then urban renewal saw the entire center torn down and rebuilt as an Albertsons. One in Chino was bu...
