The Rite Aid located at 1821 Ygnacio Valley Rd. is now littered with STORE CLOSING & GOING OUT OF BUSINESS signs. To keep this post history related I will post some photos that show the very much unaltered Thrifty interior this store has retained. There is even a few leftovers from when Walgreen...

Is there an article regarding the closures?

Upon researching it seems that there were 71 Thrifty Junior Drug Stores operating in 1991. While these stores were smaller it makes me wonder how many locations were acquired by Rite Aid and exactly how many remained operating until the Rite Aid takeover?

I agree with you Jeff looks more like an Albertsons...

I'm not doubting that this store was a Safeway but and referring to the location. For what its worth there is no town in Maine called "Lights End".

Safeway was NEVER in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont... This is one of those times when the person must be referring to "Main Street". My Dad and his parents lived in Maine for most of their lives and without any doubt in their or my minds Safeway was never there.

Just had to mention that Thrifty Ice Cream is still distributed "Thrifty Payless" El Monte,CA. No mention of Rite Aid anywhere on the package.

Oh like I wouldnt want one :P

The Longs name is going along with hundreds of employees...

Well of course there is always The Stepford Wives...

The windows have been phased out largely due to the fact that when the sun shined through it created a very unpleasant experience. Both in the early mornings and late afternoons were like staring into the sun.

Very Sad:(

The former Alpha Beta Market located at 1391 East Yosemite Ave. closed in 1984 and days later reopened under the name BIG BOY MARKET. I'm amazed they (Big Boy) made it this long but the economy finally contributed to part of the reason for its closure...

I'm confused though about that store... Is it still part of Ralphs/Kroger?
