Late Fifties Lucky


By the late 1950's, Lucky had moved away from the use of gigantic pylons and the classic Loewy look and began to employ a wide variety of interesting designs, including this great "zig-zag" from Livermore, California in 1959. The "three squares" theme, however, continued to appear from time to time in modified form.
Thanks to Scott of the great BIGMallRat site for identifying the location of this store - "2930 Pacific Ave., which was the site of Nob Hill Foods up until recently. At some point, Lucky's moved downtown. Nob Hill came in and added onto the building and the exterior was remodeled (the entire shopping center was remodeled)".
