Re: Big list of discount department stores
Hey guys, I made a Google Sheets list of discount department stores and where they used to be located. I know its not supermarket related (unless you count the discount subsidiaries of grocery chains like Grand Way etc.) I tried to put every single location of every discount chain that I could find...

Hmmmmmmmm..............
Is that Food Fair THE Food Fair?

Re: Super Fair, Los Angeles
I'm only able to find evidence that two of these ever existed: the one above in North Hollywood and another at 18300 Vanowen in Reseda (now the site of a Ralphs in what is likely a new building). They seem to have closed in 1972 along with rest of Food Fair's stores in the region. It looks like the...

Re: Super Fair, Los Angeles
There is Food Fair written all over this building inside and out. The merchandising is definitely not Food Fair. None of my records can confirm this. I believe this was a former Food Fair - J.M.

Re: Super Fair, Los Angeles
From "Newman's Law" (1974): https://youtu.be/IlORlqGknLU?t=4815 This was apparently a discount department store with a grocery department operated by Food Fair. This directory notes that there were two of them in 1969. From what I've read, the one in the movie above was already closed by ...

The UPC
I thought this was interesting.

Side note:
Food Fair was using the PRE IBM barcode in the 1960s at their Fox Markets on the west coast even though they opposed the eventual IBM UPC.

Interesting adjectives for sure
Side note and unrealted: Food Fair was testing scanning registers in the West during the mid to late 1960's with their Fox Markets. I was surprised!
