Re: Lucky Stores in Washington

Off the top of my head I remember shopping at Lucky stores in Kent, Ballard and Tukwila. The Lucky "key buy" and mixed format never did well in Washington (racks of clothes near the checkout lanes for example). I remember the stores as being very clean, but never very busy. Attaching a pic...

Re: Marina Safeway in Montana - anyone know which town?

yes this is the Hamilton Safeway, I was involved with an installation at this store in the early 90's. This store used to have an instore Bakery, that was closed in the 80's. A hot deli was installed in the early 90's and remains today.

Re: Recently closed marina Safeway in Olympia

I visited this old Olympia store many times during the 1990's, I always had a positive experience there, the Oly district office was located in the upstairs back of the store. Turntable checkstands, ah yes I remember those discussions, Albertsons came out with a video showcasing all the benefits of ...

Re: Old Photos at Safeway in Bonners Ferry, Idaho

Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? Sure looks historical, though I am unconvinced it has anything to do with the store. http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa113/StoreWest/Safeway/Img_2869.jpg I last visited the Bonners Ferry Idaho Safeway in the mid 1990's, it is still located at 216 First S...

Oak Harbor Safeway Checkstand And POS Changeout

The picture attached is the beautiful Oak Harbor Safeway in 1992 while we were changing out the old turn table checkstands and installing checker unloads. That's me tossing an IBM 3663 keyboard into a cart as we were installing IBM 4683 POS. Eagle eyes can pick out this is a classic 1970's Safeway S...

Market Street Safeway

I have this picture sitting on my desk at work and it always arouses some humorous discussions, this is the famous Market Street Safeway in San Francisco. This is one of Safeway's highest volume stores in the company. This picture was taken before the 1997 extensive remodel started (a remodel I part...

Jewel Lake Safeway In Alaska Closed 1988

I thought some of you might enjoy this picture and brief history of the Jewel Lake Safeway that was just open briefly in Anchorage Alaska. The 46,000 square foot stand alone (considered quite large at that time) new from the ground up featured four docking bays in the rear of the store, a handsome a...
