Fry's Grocery Store Newspaper Ad

Just found these today while looking through my disorganized file cabinet- I had originally found this in our garage wrapped around a glass cup. After they pulled out of the Grocery Business, they started selling Electronics and that grew. Fry's Electronics is still around today and has almost the same logo as the one above used for the grocery. When they closed, Save Mart acquired all of them, but they let many go to become other markets or businesses or in the case of the one on Foxworthy- it became homes.

 

The locations are as follows:

 

1. 1965 Foxworthy Ave. San Jose- torn down in 1999 for 45 Single Family Homes

 

2. ???? South White Road. San Jose- not sure what became of this one, the address is unreadable

 

3. 850 E. Hamilton Ave. Campbell- now a Pet Smart

 

4. 1070 Story Rd. San Jose- across from the Super K mart turned Wal Mart. Now a Save Mart Supermarket

 

5. 3475 Mc Kee Rd. San Jose- torn down to build a new Save Mart Supermarket

 

6. 12610 El Camino Real-no city specified, so I definitely don't know what became of this one

 

7. 5401 Camden Ave. San Jose- became a child's party place known as Bamboola, that closed, it is now the Jungle(same as Bamboola...)

 

8. 1215 Calaveras Blvd. Milpitas- now an Asian Supermarket under the name Ocean Supermarket.

 

9. 15625 Snell Ave. San Jose- now a Pet Club Store

 

10. 1641 N. Capitol Ave. San Jose- now a Save Mart Supermarket
