Posted by Daniel on 11/1/2005, 11:39 pm, in reply to "Re: SF/Fresno Weekend" Save Mart has remodeled all their stores here in Fresno within the past 5 or so years, so you can't really go into them and see blatant traces of old chains anymore. There is a largely untouched Alpha Beta out on Belmont & Peach now operating as an R-N Market. The wall lettering has been painted from the original brown, the aisle hangers have been replaced and a few asiles have been replaced with that tall "warehouse" style shelving but other than that it is still pretty much spot on for what a 70's A-B looked like, down to the weird (by today's standards) placement of the produce across from the meats. And of course there's the Ventura Market, which is still an unremodeled Marina Safeway. (Safeway closed that one in 1984, it reopened the same year as the independent Ventura.) In that one, all the wall lettering is 60's Safeway, but the aisle hangers were just replaced a few months ago. The aisles seem to be the original ones, but the checkouts seem to be new. They are still the turntable style, though. I have some inside and outside pics of that place as well.
