Nice to see a few Food Fairs and Pantry Prides! Though no one cares...........LOL :-) I care. And there were quite a lot of them in the Tampa Bay stuff I added a few weeks ago! More to come with Jacksonville and Orlando... Oh no David, I didn't mean you. You are awesome and if it wasn't for you the...

Yep, it was a Safeway for sure.

After that it was Luckys but I don't remember Ralphs there.

Congrats and appreciated!!

You didn't find any Fox Markets or Fox's Food Fair?

Food Fair Stores bought a chain in Southern California called Fox Markets in the 1960's.

There were 50 stores in California and 25 in Nevada.

Yeah, I believe that is correct...............

The panhandle would be the logical area.

There was talk of the managers trying to buy the remaining stores.

The size of the stores were large for their time (when built).

Intersting!

I am almost certain there were Food Fairs (and eventually Pantry Prides in W.Virginia).

Also, I believe there might have been some short lived discount department stores there as well.

You guys didn't find any Food Fairs in W.Virginia?

I am are there were some!

This guy would destroy Albertsons/Safeway/et al in such a way that would make Ron Perlman (Food Fair/Pantry Pride/Revlon) look like Mother Teresa (albeit at a slower pace and way more profitable for him).

Finally!!

That Vons was a bowling alley at one time.

Yep, and they designed that Ralphs to honor the original architecture of the Alpha Beta.

I managed that Ralphs for a while and also the Ralphs Fresh Fare on Palm Canyon and Sunrise (about a mile down the road).

I'm not certain but I think Del Farm was in Denver in the mid 1970s??

Wow, Andrew, as always.............well said and not surprisingly, prescient. Retail grocery is the mirror and the window of the culture it serves. The necessity of it (everyone has to eat) guarantees a full display of society at large and its evolution. I imagine the same things when viewing a repu...

Awesome find David!!

Those were the art deco days in Food Fair architecture.

Lots of customers were calling them "Fabulous Food Fair"!
