Lucky-1967 Store Locations-East Bay Area (San Francisco)

Post by Jason B. »

The Oakland Tribune of Wednesday, October 25, 1967 contains an advertisement for Lucky supermarkets that lists the store locations in the East Bay area of the San Francisco Bay Area. The ad touts, “91 Lucky Discount Supermarkets Serving Northern California.” Store hours were 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m to 7 p.m. Sunday.

How many of these store locations are still Lucky supermarkets in 2015? Of those, how many are in the original buildings? How many of these buildings still stand?

22695 Foothill Boulevard is now a movie theater. It looks like, given this document, that Lucky rebuilt the store in 1978 as a 30,000 square feet store (the original was probably even smaller), which became Albertsons in 1999, which closed in 2001 and relocated to 22555 Mission Blvd., which itself was sold to Save Mart c. 2007, so now it's a Lucky again.

EDIT: Since Albertsons still had the lease on it, it appears (based on Internet results) that it was converted into a Sav-on Pharmacy later. This was closed by the end of 2005 (Google Earth) and then demolished, though the parking lot still was used.

The vast majority of that list made it to Albertsons but very little of that list made it to Save Mart. Lots of Albertsons LLC closures on that list.

1160 Railroad in Pittsburg was a Super Saver divested to Ralphs and rebranded Foods Co and is actually still open. Lucky mid 1990's tiles are visible if you look into the bakery/deli prep area. Lucky remodeled that store months before "stripping it" for a conversion to Price Advantage in the mid 1990's (predecessor name to Super Saver).
