My friend Larry sent me this email with a bunch of pictures of California signs and stores that no longer exist. It will be interesting to see if my sister remembers any of these.
I remember going to FedCo and GemCo with my Grandparents when we were down there. I remember Thom McAn and Kinney shoes, but I do not recall ever going to a store or owning any. I do not remember FedMart at all.
One store I am sure my sister remembers is this one.
Lucky, just up the street from my Grandparents house. It was purchased by Albertsons some years ago and I remember Grandma just not liking it much after that. (Took me 20 minutes to find this picture! I must have 40,000 pictures and/or scans to look through.)
Surprisingly, Lucky is still in business, but it appears they are limited to the San Francisco area now.
