Re: Safeway @ Preston & Royal in Dallas

Actually found a relatively recent article on the store: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/retail/2019/11/27/central-market-to-rebuild-its-tornado-damaged-store-at-preston-and-royal-we-want-to-be-a-catalyst/ https://dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/x0Lc8r9ueNMrubcQ8yjUcm0XHY0=/16...

Former marina Safeways in SoCal

Went on a few roadtrips this year and saw these locations along the way. --- 4852 South Bradley Road, Santa Maria. Now a CVS. https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118804297_10109011357439283_796169906276862972_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=2&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=60Eig8K6zY8AX-JEtu4&am...

Re: Huskinson's

Hi,

I'm not sure where the scanned file is - this was from over 11 years ago. It may be on my archive CDs somewhere at home, but I can't say for sure.

Brentwood Market

PnS was from another company Safeway bought out (when and what, I forgot) Brentwood Markets, a South San Francisco-based chain which Safeway bought in 1983: http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=176 (2006 thread on PnS - second page mentions a PnS location in a former KMart in Dublin) htt...

Re: Possible former Albertsons

I'm surprised of the claims that this was a former Kmart (at least built as such), because it really reminds me of many of the 1970s-era former Safeway stores in Houston (now mostly serving as Fiesta if they're still in grocery use at all). At least one Yelp review of the PNS/Safeway mentions its K...

Re: Possible former Albertsons

There aren't any good pictures of the interior but the interior seems different from a regular Lifestyle remodel. Could be the angles, however... I think the sheer scale of the South San Francisco store (a former KMart if I am not mistaken) and the retention of a finished concrete floor do much to ...

Pak N Save

From reading Yelp reviews, it seems Pak n Save is being eliminated as well, remodeling into normal Safeway stores. Given Albertsons Cos. apparent dislike for self-checkouts, and Pak n Save not even listed on their list of brands (it shows Lucky and Super Saver), I can imagine that it won't be kept....

Re: What is the oldest Safeway in operation?

The Market St. Safeway might have been Marina-styled ages ago, but it certainly isn't now. I think it is so old, that it was built without a Marina roof, was given one when that became the chain's "signature style" and has since been expanded and remodeled beyond recognition. That locatio...

Re: Defunct grocery chains you personally shopped at

I guess fresh&easy will soon be on this list as well...I went to the now-closed location on Silver Avenue in San Francisco (I think the only remaining location in SF is at the former Albertsons at Clement/32nd on what had been a Safeway from the 1950s to 1995)

Re: Dale's Markets, San Fernando Valley, 1984

Glad I found this thread. I worked at Dale's while a senior in high school, 1978-79. A few thoughts: The store at Devonshire and Reseda was Store #31, considered the "flagship" of the chain. David Dale (Sr.) personally shopped there each Sunday morning, as he lived in Granada Hills. When ...
