Sacramento: Former Safeway, 2900 Freeport

[TheStranger]

The current tenants, Taylor's Market, have a nice old photo of this place during its tenure as Safeway:

According to their site, it has been Taylor's since 1962. I suspect it closed when the larger stores on Broadway and on South Land Park Drive were opened. (Both of those closed in the late 1960s and aren't even supermarkets anymore, while this is still in operation.)

I suspect it closed when the larger stores on Broadway and on South Land Park Drive were opened.

Actually, even closer, I think, was the Franklin Boulevard store which was replaced about 1961 after the original store burned down. It's still a grocer too (King's, I believe), or it was last time I was there, at least.

Lee's Food King (not to be mistaken with King's in North Sacramento in the ex-Raley's gable). I've been in there a few times in the last month. (The people who operate LFK also own a former Mar-Val in Galt.)

2900 Freeport is 1.9 miles from that store, but only 1.5 miles away from the late-1950s wavy-awning store on Broadway.

I'm actually thinking though that the old Safeway that became the flagship Tower Records location (at 16th and Broadway) was what the Broadway/10th store directly replaced. Though it could have been built to consolidate both the Freeport and 16th locations.
