The Market Basket Chain-San Diego Area-1959
Posted: 09 Feb 2011 04:56
The San Diego Union of November 12, 1959 included an advertisement for "The Market Basket" supermarket chain. The slogan was
“The MARKET BASKET” – “WE PUNCH MORE OF THE SMALL KEYS at the MARKET BASKET”. A photo in the ad showed the "keys" (or buttons) of a cash register that apparently was from that era.
The main item featured in the ad was spareribs for 39 cents per pound. Van de Camp baked goods were touted, with the caveat, “Special Van de Camp values at our Lake Murray and Solana Beach stores only.”
The Market Basket locations in the ad were:
(1) Ocean Beach – 4967 Newport Avenue;
(2) Lake Murray - 6145 Lake Murray Blvd. “Village Shopping Center”;
(3) Solana Beach – 140 S. Sierra;
(4) La Mesa - Jackson & La Mesa Blvd. “In the Mart”'
Does anyone know what became of this chain?
