Possible Safeway?

Post by Steve Landry »

The address of the store is:

71550 Highway 111
Rancho Mirage Ca.

Could this store have been a Safeway?

BTW, I have fotos but don't know how to post them here........lol

The architecture looks correct for a gable-era Safeway, I'd say your assumption is correct.

Found proof that this was a Safeway back in 1959! (The rock faced walls on the front exterior were the other hint)

The shopping center and area look so modern on Google Street View I would have never guessed it was 1950s-era.
