Re: Safeway remodel Tahoe City, CA 09/2018

The Lifestyles interior is still very modern; the renovation looks nice. At least Albertsons/Safeway is committed to making the former Safeway family of stores look uniform.

Re: Longs Drugs?

Several of the comments in this forum bring up an interesting point - If an acquiring company keeps the original banner name (Longs) but then adds a bunch of parent company paraphernalia (CVS/Target cash registers, packaging, etc), doesn't the customer see through all this?

Re: North Pasadena Vons May Close

Stater Bros officially announced they're taking over the lease and open a store on the site.

Re: Vallarta Supermarket Pasadena (Grand Opening)

Beautiful looking in the video, even with a "warehouse" ceiling. Are those service departments open through dinner hours? I look forward to your update, original poster. I went to check out the store today, and it was extremely crowded so I was unable to take any good pictures. The parkin...

Vallarta Supermarket Pasadena (Grand Opening)

The new Vallarta Supermarket in Pasadena is set to open Wednesday 11/29, this store is located on the spot where my neighborhood Vons used to operate for the past 20 years.

Re: North Pasadena Vons May Close

The neighborhood in which that store is located is predominantly Armenian/Middle Eastern. Maybe the landlord wants to lease that building to an ethnic grocer that caters to the Armenian community like Jons Marketplace (all they have to do is replace the "V" with a "J" in the sign...
