I found this on Wikipedia: Sambo's is the name of a former American restaurant chain, started in 1957 by Sam Battistone (who later became the owner of the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association) and Newell Bohnett. Though the name was taken from portions of the names of its founders, the c...

Also, there used to be a Crawfords Market in El Monte on Valley and Garvey, and one (which is still open) in Norwalk. I dont know if these were all the same or not.

That shopping center still has that theme beleive it or not. I'll try to get pictures this weekend.

And no plans for the Vons site yet.

I went to one in Burnaby I beleive it was on route 7a.

This was about 3 years ago.

The one was Albertsons. the other looks like it could have been a Smiths.

There is one station near me left with the ball. The others closed or remodeled.

nice pics. The Albertsons in Temple City was still looking like that as of last year, havent been by since.

CVS entered the market here in the 1980's I beleive but were sold to Sav-On in the late 80's (?)

There was a CVS in our mall that opened in 1985. It was a large store suprisingly.

yes, there was an article in the Tribune about it. I just head today.

I wonder if Target gutted the store when they left. I may have to check it out.

The very large Vons store in Alhambra closed this past Sunday. The lease was up. Apparently Ralphs owns the building and was leasing it to Vons.

What is going to happen to the building is uncertain.

furrs used to have a location in Claremont that was a bust from the beginning. never got off the ground.

Well I didn't know it closed.

I'm kind of saddened now. I liked that retro looking store.

And did anything ever take over the market spot. Last I remember, it was a Max Foods. What was it before / After Max?

What about Alphie?!?!?!?

Food 4 Less on the Banning / Beaumont Border was originally a Kmart. When it moved across the freeway, Food 4 Less moved in.

This is the only shopping center I know that has a Stater Brothers and a Food 4 Less in the same center. 2 markets in one center.
