LA History Capsule?
HI all, I'm working on some site upgrades, and I'm thinking it would be really nice to have at least a capsule/summary page on the site covering LA area chain history. I'm probably never going to give LA the intensive treatment I've given some other California cities, simply because (a) it's too big...

Atlanta History Solicited
Hi all, I'm hoping to add an Atlanta page to the site sometime soon, and I wanted to solicit a very general history of chain operations there. It would be great if someone were interested in actually writing one for me, but I'm not going to hold my breath. That said, this topic might be a great plac...

Re: Kmart in Paramus NJ: Former Penn Fruit/Shop-Rite?
I would assume that the Kmart took over adjacent space in addition to the Penn Fruit location, or else this is one really small Kmart. I've seen this photo before and I've always been curious about the history. It's good to get some information.

Re: Chicago, IL: Kohl's (?) that became Eagle and then Dominicks
Anyone remember Kohls, Eagle, or this store design? Welcome aboard. The example you provided (the Kmart in NJ) is very similar to a Kohl's prototype, and there were apparently some stores of this design in Chicago per another thread on this board. The actual Kmart pictured was almost certainly not ...

Re: West Covina area grocery history
Quick question... how do you access the LA Times archives? You would need access through an academic (or perhaps a public) library to access them at no cost. If you have a library card, you might check the "electronic resources" page of your library's website to see if it offers access to...

Re: MB Center Broadway and West MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, CA
I'm pretty sure there was a Mayfair Market in this center.

Re: Lucky/American Stores merger
Only certain stores had to be divested. To oversimplify, American eventually ended up selling off most of its Alpha Beta stores in Southern California and a few scattered stores in Northern California. Chad or one of the other SoCal experts can probably clarify better than I can, but I think I have ...

I'm moving this to the California forum, since (per the subject) it is specific to that region.

Re: The Pop Shoppe
There are still Pop Shoppe locations in around North Carolina, particularly around Charlotte, and they seem to somehow be related to the Citgo gas stations there. I've even been to Citgo stations that didn't have Pop Shoppe signs that still featured the name on their receipts.

Re: Safeway International
Unless I've missed the answer somewhere, does anyone known if the DC Safeway International (and the adjacent "regular" Safeway) building is still standing? I can't get a good feel from Google Maps.
