430 W Claremont Center Drive, Claremont

19640 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach
13413 Telegraph Rd, Whittier
312 E Betteravia Rd, Santa Maria
In 1983 ground was broken for a shopping center in Fallbrook at the corner of Mission and Ammunition Roads (there's a street name!) that was to be anchored by a SAB and a Sprouse-Reitz.
In 1987 a SAB was to open at the SW corner of Pioneer and Firestone in Norwalk.
Noticed the Huntington Beach site is now Albertsons.
Is a huge site. Was the former SAB site demolished and replaced with the Albertsons?

It has the look of a SAB, and I dont think its ever been demolished. I remember it as a Lucky.

Site still vacant today. Even Claremont Toyota is in a bit of a decline as well.
When I went inside the store before it closed, it had the 1998 Lucky decor package.
Actually, that part of Claremont is not the best area for a store like Albertsons despite facing the 10 Freeway. The Pomona city limits are right behind the store, which may have contributed to its demise. The landscape changes as you drive down Indian Hill until you reach the end at Holt.

Jimenez Ranch Market on Indian Hill and San Bernardino Ave was a '60's era Alpha Beta, but that area is Pomona and not Claremont.
At one time, there were 4 Alpha Beta/Albertsons/Food4Less lineage stores along about 2 miles of Indian Hill Blvd in the Claremont/Pomona area;
- Boys/Food4Less (now El Super) at Holt in Pomona
- Alpha Beta, later Jimenez Ranch at San Bernardino in Pomona
- Skaggs Alpha Beta/Lucky/Albertsons at Auto Center in Claremont
- the now closed Savon/CVS at Arrow Hwy (if we include Albertsons' drug region) in Claremont
