Davis Supermarkets
Just to throw in my two cents-- I lived in Davis from 1970-1974, and again from 1977-78 and here are the markets that were in town at that time:

- University Mall Safeway is now Cost Plus, and was State Market for some time
G Street Safeway (gable) has been the Davis Food Co-Op since the early 1980s
The Lucky at Anderson Plaza is now Albertsons, still with Lucky decor
Albertsons at Davis Manor became Ralphs in 1999 after the Lucky merger, closed in 2003 as Ralphs, and half of it is now Dollar Tree (which opened in 2006)
The original State Market site is now where Rite Aid sits at Anderson/Russell
And that ex-Pioneer, now Nugget, is still there, in East Davis. Was that put it when El Macero (the unincorporated community) was developed? I do wonder how long it's been Nugget.

This human interest profile of Nugget Market mentions that the North Davis location was not only occupied by Safeway for a while, but by "two other national chains." I wonder what they were...

Northwest Davis Nugget
I believe that the store opened as a Fry's, but I don't know that it was ever anything else (other than a Safeway.)

Re: Northwest Davis Nugget
If it started as a Fry's, could it have been one of the ones that was sold to Save-Mart? I think all the NorCal stores were sold in that 1988 deal. I also think Save-Mart sold (or traded) Safeway a couple of stores in the late 1990s. One in either Concord or Pleasant Hill comes to mind. Maybe this was another?J-Man wrote:I believe that the store opened as a Fry's, but I don't know that it was ever anything else (other than a Safeway.)
