This picture shows the massive front aisle even more dramatically. In addition to shrinking the aisles by probably around 10 feet, Saar's also has about half as many checkouts as Albertsons/Haggen did, and they're quite a bit smaller as well. This picture shows how this space used to look -- note that you can't even see the row of columns in that shot, and how the aisles came out almost all the way to where the lighting changes direction.
Saar's put in all-new checkout counters, with new, very interesting (and kind of ugly), register lights. They kind of look like 70s/80s light fixtures, with a brass(?) frame surrounding a clear glass box with a very obvious light bulb in it. The number is cut into a thicker brass strip across the top, but it's the portion without the number that's the main light-up part. Certainly nothing like anything I've seen elsewhere...
Also, spot the Haggen decor remnant!
Local designer's shop front, I liked the light and the setup, even if everything in there was a bit pricey

Got this set on eBay and although someone wrote on the front "new 1978", I'm not sure about that. The box design and illustrations point this towards the early 70's. I have a 1978 GE Christmas Light catalog and the graphic layout is different and the sets are no longer American made by this point. www.flickr.com/photos/jeffcarter629/4732041018/in/set-721...
GE introduced the Cool Bright lamp in 1970 and two of the other cool burning GE lights that the package recommends were no longer made after the early 70's-The Stardust and Lighted Bells. GE stopped making the 10 light strings of their standard bulbs by 1975. What I do find odd is that on the box flap where you would find the date of manufacture, it lists "EasTex -Bruce" instead of the date code. When GE used Ohio Boxboard Company to make their boxes there would be a date code. This lasted until the mid 70's. Another clue that this could be a later production is the price. In 1974 I got a 10 Light Set of the Ceramic Coated bulbs from Woolsworth for $1.99. This set is $2.99 from TruValue Hardware. I do have all of the GE Christmas Catalogs from 1978 until they stop manufacturing lights in 2001. GE would produced special sets for major retailers that were not listed in their catalog. This could be one of those sets. GE may have needed to get rid of some old inventory that was left over when they changed their product line and produced these for TruValue or this could be some old stock from previous seasons that TruValue sold in 78.
