A friend of mine at another board linked me to this and immediately keyed in on the rockfaced exterior walls...not sure where this could be.

It's the Beachs Market at 7900 Imperial Boulevard in Downey. It opened as a Beachs in 1966 so it was never a Safeway/Vons, nor an A&P (it has that A&P stone facade look to it)

You can see a part of the movable text part of the sign at the beginning of the ad: http://www.rapidtransit-press.com/socalmall57.jpg

Our Humble Host also mentions it in this entry and its appearance in an episode of Monk: http://www.groceteria.com/journal/2005/09.html#091005
