Just before we descended into the "Amazing Cave", I managed to get a shot of one of the smaller bays within Ha Long, Vietnam. This one is also gorgeous LARGE. :o)

Alpha Beta began as a merchandising concept rather than as a store name.
Albert and Hugh Gerrard had been operating food stores in Southern California since 1900 and had been early adopters of a self-service system in 1914. Their Triangle Grocerteria (at 329 West Second Street, Pasadena) began arranging groceries alphabetically in 1915, the beginning of the “Alpha Beta system”.

6109 Meridian Ave. at Redmond Ave.
This Lucky Supermarket opened in the 1970s as an 23,805 SF Alpha Beta Market.
In the mid 90s, Lucky filed plans to expand the store by 28,956 SF, bringing it to a total of 52,761 SF. This would occur by retaining the existing building, but tearing the shops next to it down for the expansion.
In 1999 it, like all the other Luckys became Albertsons. In 2007, it became a Lucky again under the ownership of Save Mart Supermarkets.

Northeast corner of Boulder Highway and Lake Mead Drive in Henderson, Nevada. Former Skaggs/Alpha Beta.
The site of what was once Alpha-Beta, that became Albertson's. Lakeside is a quirky little town, when I first moved out here in the 90's there were 2 Albertson's, the one in the building pictured here "Old Albertson's" and the one about a block up Wintergardens "New Albertsons."
A few years ago they closed "old Albertson's" and it has sat abandoned and pretty much been an eye-sore. On the grass on the street side of the parking-lot, locals set up what we refer to as the "Lakeside Swapmeet" and sell their old things.
They have begun working on the building, supposedly a Walgreens is going in, the construction has revealed the old Alpha-Beta sign underneath everything, the roof is gone and they are definitely doing something...stay tuned Lakeside!
