Reviving this topic... - In the "divested regions" thread I started a week or so ago, I found and posted photos of several SoCal Vons marinas (Long Beach, Carpinteria, and the Alvarado store)... - The Highland Park store, according to this shot from Live Local, operated as a Pic N Save fo...

I used to work at that store...that store makes close to $1 million a week....they didn't want to close the store down and lose its customers. Also they city was in the way of the remodel. Now the company and the city have compromised. They are tearing down the old store, expainding the store even m...

hmmm...i knew a customer at that store that had been living in the area for years....she told me there was a store there by the name of Flagship?(or something like that) i dont remember the exact name, but i dont remember her ever sayin it was a ralphs or market basket...i could be wrong tho. This m...

That's cool that you remember the Garden Grove Pavilions. It was the first store in the chain and replaced an existing and very successful old Vons in the same shopping center. I thought the Monrovia store was the first Pavilions. At least that's what I was led to believe. If I remember right the f...

There's also a Ralphs at Beverly Connection and a Bristol Farms on Beverly. There *used to be* a Ralphs at Beverly Connection... http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f396/otterphotos/emptyralphs1.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f396/otterphotos/emptyralphs11.jpg Photos taken Thursday...

It makes sense that they would want to rebuild this store. All of the competing stores I can think of in the area have been totally redone or rebuilt in the last few years: The Ralphs Fresh Fare (former Hughes) on Beverly and Doheney, Whole Foods (former Alpha Beta) on SMB and Fairfax, and the Rock...

I opened that store in 1992! I haven't been in it for many years. I'll have to go check it out. It was one of the most successful new stores ever for Vons and started out at more than $600,000 a week, which is a lot of a new store. haha yes i forgot sorry! I cant believe they were still using the s...

A Pavilions Place was just smaller than a normal Pavilions (Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are on 18,000 sq ft. compared to 55,000 sq. ft. for new-build Pavilions). that's what I i thought...but the others on here were saying no. Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are the the square footage...? BH is...

Pavilions on 8969 Santa Monica Blvd was ALSO a Safeway. Dunno the details of when it became a Pavilions but i do know it was a Safeway then a VONS then a Pavilions...so i dunno if it was aquired in 1986 or not. The store at 8969 Santa Monica Blvd. was never a Vons. I was working there when Vons acq...

I'm MAINLY INTO THE VONS/PAVILIONS STUDIES PRE-SAFEWAY...I FIND THE CONCEPTS OF THE STORES INTERRESTING...I LOVE THE WHOLE PAVILIONS CONCEPT SINCE I WAS YOUNGER AND WENT TO MY FIRST ONE (GARDEN GROVE) I WORKED AT ALL THE PAVILIONS STORES U MENTIONED AND LEFT BOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO. I READ SOMEWHERE T...

This Pavilions store in santa monica was a former Safeway...it is the marina style but since they built the top part where the sign is attached u cant tell from the outside...when u go in u can see the curve. These Safeway stores to me are very small....most of these stores dont have bakeries.... ht...

This was a variant of the Marina style. A few out here in California were like this. There are some Vons stores that are marina's, most notiably the Santa Monica Bl location in West La. I used to work at that store. While i was working there, there were talks of a remodel but never ever came of tha...

i like this topic...its like this store is a "mystery" store....i cant wait to see what store it officially turns out to be.....has anyone thought of emailing washington mutual....? There is no mystery. I am 100% certain it's a Mayfair (unless you're referring to exactly which former-Mayf...
