Re: Unknown Ralphs location in Los Angeles
I missed this posting by about 3 years. This is a former Ralphs located in Santa Monica. Ralphs left this site in the 1960s. It was vacant for a long time, then a store called Europa took over the building until the late 1980s or early 1990s. Barnes and Noble took over the old store, gutted it, and ...

Re: Temple City Former Albertson's
Today, I drove past the former Albertsons. They are now actually working on the outside and the inside. The door was open and I could see that the inside was totally empty with the back walls painted white.

Re: Mayfair Market in Century City
Awsome find! I have lived in Los Angeles all my life, been going to Century City Mall since its birth in the mid 1960s, and only remember Gelsons as Gelsons. Wow. I am really blown away on that one. For the last few years, the only place that you can park is in the mall's large multi level parking s...

Re: Mystery Ralphs location on latimes.com
The color and black/white pictures appears to be the former Ralphs that used to be on the corner of Crescent and Wilshire. The Beverly Hills Store operated until at least until 1974/1975. That was around the last time that I shopped there as a teenager. Buying junk food of course. The store had been...

Re: Before and After Remodel Photos
Good photos of the before and after conversions. About a year ago I found an Albertsons in Glendora, California at Grand and Route 66 that has the identifcal decor. I always wondered if this was an Albertsons' original decor or decor from a previous chain that Albertsons took over.

The original Marina Market was owned by Boys Markets. It was a Boys' Market, but upscale for the area, called Marina Market. Somewhere around the early 1990's, the original Ralphs Supermarket chain had selected a site across the street, which was a former telephone company site. However the neighbor...

Do you mean the store across from the Food4Less/Home Depot Shopping Center? Yes it was a supermarket. I know it was an ABC Supermarket in the past. From approximately the late 1970's until the early 1980's, it was an ABC Supermarket. Shortly after the supermarket closed, it became a church. I believ...

Jefferson Bowl Comp USA
The Culver City Caifornia, Comp U.S.A. store is in a strip mall with several other retail stores. The strip mall replaced the demolished Jefferson Bowl building several years ago. The Comp U.S.A. store portion/section in the strip mall complex was never a supermarket.
