Saw story again on NBC news so made all three networks. They said there are really only two other stores in the immediate downtown area, non chain stores that catered to the upper class. Piece NBC had said that it was suprising since so many hi rise condos are being built downtown. Also NBC said tha...

Only Albertsons in downtown San Jose is closing. I heard it on cbs radio loop today and also on the ABC morning news. People interviewed were unhappy. Like Bell and Cala they served a specific neighborhood where there are no stores in area. OOne guy they interviewed said it was always busy there eve...

Is that the former car dealership? The one that doesn't havea parking lot? A real end of an era if that one has closed. Safeway has the nig presense in the Bay Area. It is hard even to find an Albertsons in San Francisco and areas north. Its too obad big time Kroger didn't look at markets and relati...

Besides becoming other types of retail stores I have seen many a bank, old theater and mid sixties style stores turned into churches. Also Tara Hills Center has whole old grocery store and mall adjacent turned into a religious grade school. Gyms also seems to be where old groceries were.

I think pricing had alot to do with it. FoodsCo is owned by Kroger and are now adversising in FoodCo ads that they are 11 percent lower then Safeway and 13 percent lowe then Albertsons (or vice versa) Foodco is much larger and very few in bay Area. I think if Kroger would have priced the Bell/Cala s...

Everytime a remake of something comes out I have to watch the original and as you know alot of remakes coming out including a Batman redo with first movie already out on video. Well being on Netflix I relutancly ordered the original Bad News Bears to watch first. They havent sent remake yet but shoc...

I am really curious to know about the one still standing in San Leandro. If I remember right it did say roast beef or maybe I'm thinking of a picture I saw somewhere else. There is an old KFC that is Chinese food in Novato across the street from a recently closed Dennys that is now Thai. The KFC is ...

The only one I remember was on old 99 (Riverside Drive) in Mount Vernon Wa (state) It is still there I am pretty sure. It was Seasons and then a Godfathers Pizza for a very long time. It is just south of College Way and across the street from a still standing Pylon Safeway that was a sporting goods ...

The Marinwood Bell closed last Thursday. I think the housing development across the freeway at the Catholic orphanage farmland didn't get approved. From what I understand it started as a Lee Brothers in the mid sixties I was told by a checker one time. She said it did good business and the rent was ...

Thanks for info. Just thought it was very strange to see other Safeway down the street which I'm presuming is older because of the round S sign where the new S is in such good condition but the one south has such bare walls with sections hand painted on walls. Also the paneling in back of store and ...

Marin County only has three malls, two which are court yard type of malls (since it is California) and Northgate a mall with 2 annexes one which has a larger Safeway and Northgate 2 a smaller Albertsons that opened in 67 but went out of business a few years ago and became a Michaels crafts. The Safe...

According to a San Francisco Chronicle Article the other day profits are up and many new stores up for remodel with 28 done already. Shocked to see interior of San Bruno Safeway on El Camino Real. Safeway is unlike any other I have been in since it had alot of hand painted signs and very bare interi...
