The Sierra Madre store closed a few years ago, there's only one picture of the inside from Yelp, and it looks like an ancient store that wasn't touched since before the blue-and-gray era.
Yes, indeed. That store was like walking back into 1974. All the orange and avocado green. Amazing! Should be kept as a movie set. Think it is still empty and boarded-up.
The interior in Sierra Madre was indeed the late 1980's Albertsons interior. This as you noted was the last interior before the blue-gray.

There was an interim interior in the early 90's that used the Sierra Madre wall colors but used cream/dirty white/off white?? wall letters from the blue-gray font.
