99 Cents Only Store
Photos taken on 02/28/2009 of a shopping center located in Montebello, off Wilcox, along the 60 Pomona Freeway.
What makes this center unusual is that from 1999 until 2007, Albetsons operated two stores across the street from one another. On one side was an Albertsons (former Lucky) Supermarket and on the other side was a Max Foods (warehouse type supermarket).
For this shopping center, the Max Foods has an interesting history. Originally a former Zodys Department Store, which closed in the 1980s. Albertsons took over site and the building was subdivided into several stores including a Supermarket. (note, an Albertson Supermarket was originally was located next to this store currently an Office Depot, however when Albertsons took over the site they changed the type of supermarket to a warehouse type market. Albertsons named this new concept store Grocery Warehouse, then change its name to to Max Foods. Immediately after Max Foods closed, Albertsons totally renovated the inside of the old warehouse type supermarket into a traditional Albertsons Supermarket. When the new Albertsons Supermarket opened, it replaced an older Albertsons, a former Lucky Supermarket, which is now a Smart and Final.
To the left of Albertsons is a 99 Cents Only Store and a Circuit City Electronics Store, which made up part of the old Zodys Departtment Store building which was subdivided. To the right of Zodys was Albertsons, which is now Office Depot. Further right is CVS Pharmacy, which was a former Sav-on Drug Store. Montebello, California
