I know of no connection between Landucci and the Friedland family (which owned Food Fair Inc.) But the time line is very interesting, in that the Friedland family was very protective of the moniker and has many court cases recorded regarding this. Bruno's Food Fair was actually (don't know for how l...

This would be pre-Vons purchase. Timeline..... late 1960's or early 1970's? If so, interesting, because the number of stores inv...

Hey guys, in your expert wanderings and research, have you stumbled across anything that would suggest the existence of a grocery store chain in Los Angeles called Fox Markets? They had 50 stores in Los Angeles and 25 stores in Las Vegas. Their headquarters were in the N.E or S.E. area of downtown L...

Yes, Edric............I remember those locations. Post Food Fair and Publix agreements............Eckerds never seem to master the ability to scout for excellent locations for their stores. In fact one of the major negatives mentioned by retail business experts were the drug chain's poor locations i...

Sorry, I am out of town on business. But, I will briefly say that Hills was purchased by Food Fair in the Mid 70's (will confirm date when I get back). It was a financially troubled chain (may have been so because of labor disputes or price wars) when Food Fair purchased it. I do not think I have mu...
