I’m wondering if the adjoining Thrifty was originally a Safeway Super S store – that would explain the shared entrance.

There were several all around the valley and were occupied by other businesses after Safeway moved out of these 50's style locations and into the marina style buildings in the 60's. Many of those stores were in shopping centers with Thrifty Drug. The Safeway we shopped at in phoenix had the Thrifty right next door and you could walk from one store to another without going outside. That didn't last long as shoplifters took advantage of the easy egress and the passage was sealed off with a roll down metal door.jonel469http://nonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033289293807518844.post-49213524160733155512007-09-18T18:47:00.000-05:002007-09-18T18:47:00.000-05:00Nice.

You would never see those today as I suspect they were pretty damage-prone. Lucky used a version of these on some of their stores - here's a nice example, courtesy of the legendary "Roadsidepictures" Flickr page:<BR/><BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=49773755&size=oDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788722183424550052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033289293807518844.post-5974915381805500092007-09-13T13:06:00.000-05:002007-09-13T13:06:00.000-05:00I suppose, having family connections pay off well....I suppose, having family connections pay off well.<BR/><BR/>I love how in the first picture, the entrance just comes alive with letters and all.
