Quite a nice little store... Lucky opened this store in 1969 and how the exterior looks in the drawing (below link) it seems like there have been very minor modifications. There were windows along the front and side of the store which were covered over (probably during the mid 1990's). http://www.fl...

It hasnt happened yet so... Can someone take some photos of the store to make sure that the last Mayfair can be remembered in memory along with photographs. I wrote Gelsons a letter describing the importance the Mayfair name has to people and that the change of a name can have serious issues (Lucky-...

Please post the photos Dean!!!

The interior portion of the mall was demolished during the final days of 2007:( One of the last original businesses (aside from Century) was Freidmans Appliance Store. The family owned store began decades ago with their first store in Oakland. To my knowledge the Pleasant Hill store is the last one ...

Quick question... how do you access the LA Times archives?

Ah, the oldest and yet often crazed people can have a "museum" of this kind of stuff in their house! I would love to wander through yet kindly give thanks to the person with such a treasure trove.

One of the most comical slogan used by a discount store was from Fantastic Fair Discount Department Store and Supermarket was their "Coast to Coast" line. I guess two stores in Nevada and one store in South Portland, Maine made the chain literally on the East Coast and West Coast!

I would like to see these photos!

I'm seeing it on Friday. I cant wait for the DVD:)

I think that if this was store was fictional and simply on a soundstage the details would be far less specific. I feel that there has to be an explanation as to why this store clearly has a Safeway interior and exterior S symbol. There is no way that someone wouldve put so much work into designing a...

The new movie titled The Mist based on Steven King's novel of the same name appears to be the main setting as families take refuge in the store. The previews show at least ten different angles of the store with various things occuring. I think that the interior of the store is that of a Safeway sinc...

I think the store located at 1800 East St. in Concord,CA became a superstore in January 1978. Prior to becoming a superstore it was a marina store, no demolition ever took place that I am aware of.

Perhaps you can make an effort to get some photos of the HoJo's near you!

There is a former Howard Johnsons restaurant in Merced,CA. It is currently a Carrows and is located at 720 Motel Ave. The Carrows sign should be near the highway directing you to exit.
