Wish I’d been there. Wow. Air conditioning, free parking, and extended hours. What convenience.
I may post more of these groovy grand opening ads soon.

They’re demolishing the whole thing, and the property will be redeveloped as a multistory complex, probably with housing on the upper levels. There will be a new Safeway at street level.
