H-E-B Lockhart (Lockhart, Texas)

Google Maps Street View, with some of the more glaring watermarks crudely edited out.
This is probably going to be the last Lockhart entry before the old page gets rewritten as "Lockhart McDonald's". It concerns the Lockhart H-E-B (#445) at 403 South Colorado Street. It's the only full-line supermarket in the Lockhart area. The much more modern store at 45,000 square feet was originally opened in 1997. Prior to this a much smaller H-E-B faced east on the same lot (about 25k square feet, sharing the building with another tenant). While they were closed, they apparently temporarily occupied the space of Super S Foods at 1220 S. Colorado Street.

Anyway, I've added the oldest Street View which I believe represents the store from 1997, by 2009 the awnings had been repainted a rusty red color, and more recently (in the early 2020s) the physical footprint of the store was expanded when it added a Curbside department.

South First Square (Austin, Texas)

From this PDF
I don't have a lot of information on this one today. The grocery store at 611 West Ben White Boulevard was A&P when it first opened in 1966. The grocery store later changed hands to locally-based Foodland, which sold in 1996 to Cutrer's City Market, which by 2007 was simply City Market. From what I can find City Market sold to Arlan's Market, which closed this location shortly after, reopening in 2013 as Mi Rancho Meat Market. In late 2015 or early 2016 it was rebadged as the current name. Sharing the address and building is a restaurant called Bamboo Garden, this was Godfather's Pizza in the 1980s, and I'm not sure of the building out front. It looks like it was originally a restaurant.

While it's not connected to the shopping center anymore (poles were inserted into the concrete), the 7-Eleven (601 W. Ben White) has been here since the 1986 (though it likely originally had Citgo as a gas brand).

dd's Discounts On Antoine (Houston, Texas)

Google Maps Street View crop. If you look closely there's ridged concrete, very similar to old Kmart stores.
Spinning off another Antoine Drive entry, this particular address (8077 Antoine Drive) started out as Eagle Discount Supermarket (see Houston Historic Retail) before it closed in 1985. It was later taken over by Houston independent Foodarama before it moved in 2006 to the former Randalls at 7320 Antoine Drive, which Houston Historic Retail has covered in more detail. In 2011 it became DD's Discounts.

The rest of the shopping center doesn't have much going for it (beauty supply, daycare, FOUR cheap cell phone stores). The TitleMax Title Loans in the parking lot (8197 Antoine Drive) suggests a fast food past (most TitleMax places are in fact former fast food restaurants) but this one appears to have been a State Farm office back in the 1980s, and upon closer inspection the way the windows are built, and no drive-through/convenient parking seems to confirm the case.

Pueblo's County Market (Pueblo, Colorado)

This was a grocery store in 1984. source
1545 S. Prairie Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado is currently vacant and I researched this as part as working on the Albertsons History page (it is the first post on this site for Colorado). It originally operated as Gibson's Discount Center from 1967 to 1981, and in March 1984 reopened as County Market. In 2000, it was sold to Albertsons, which reopened it as "Grocery Warehouse", a concept similar to Max Foods elsewhere (why not Max Foods, I have no idea) and rebranded as Albertsons in 2009 under Albertsons LLC. It featured a somewhat unique decor package and catered to a largely Hispanic base, but closed in 2018. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of what this store looked like on the inside.

Lacy-Lakeview Safeway (Lacy-Lakeview, Texas)

Picture courtesy MCAD, used with permission.
Depicted above is the original Safeway of the Lacy-Lakeview area, originally with its address (at least according to tax records) as 110 E. Loop 340, and operated as a Safeway from 1976 to 1986. In 1986, the Safeway moved directly next door (you can see part of the supermarket building to the right) with the address of Safeway being 4501 Interstate 35 and this one being 4501 Interstate 35 North, and in 1990 reopened as Schulman 6 Lacy-Lakeview. In 2000, this theater closed and around 2014, the long-vacant building was torn down. Construction on the new plaza (originally Providence, later Ascension) began soon after, and opened in May 2017 as the Lacy-Lakeview Medical Plaza with a new address, 1130 N. Loop 340.

Meanwhile, the Safeway operated until 1989 when it was rebranded as AppleTree, and in 1992 the store (along with the other AppleTree in Waco at the time) was sold to Winn-Dixie, with AppleTree closing in July and reopening as Winn-Dixie a few months later. This was closed in 2002 when Winn-Dixie pulled out of the state. There it idled vacant (like the theater) for close to a decade until Atwoods finished its own remodel of the store and opened in January 2011. Atwoods (and the grocery stores before it) was 46,000 square feet but in 2021 Atwoods began an expansion that took the store up to 62,000 square feet.

Arlan's Market of Navasota (Navasota, Texas)

Taken back in January 2016 by author. Just a short post today on Arlan's Market of Navasota. The main page of this post is on Carbon-izer.com and is worth a read. Check it out!

(We'll continue with another H.K. Dodgen Loop post in the near future.)

Yale Marketplace (Houston, Texas)

The map of this shopping center isn't too impressive. (Source: see entry) Breaking from North West Loop Entries is Yale Marketplace, with a mixture of addresses on Yale Street and North West Loop. The map above is from this site and as of this writing, the numbers 1 through 9 represent 3004 Yale Street suites #100-900. 800 and 900 vacant, but the others are Verizon (100, Orangetheory Fitness (200), The Hive Salon & Beauty Bar (300), Glo Nail Lounge (400), Houston Dental Oasis (500), Pearle Vision (600), and The Lash Lounge (700). #10 is Houston Heights ER at 101 N. Loop West #300. But the real star of the show, of course, is Whole Foods Market.

This was initially branded as "365 by Whole Foods Market" when it officially opened August 22, 2018 but rebranded by 2022 as Whole Foods Market (after new parent company Amazon discontinued the brand). 365 was originally a limited service version of Whole Foods with fewer service departments and lower prices. In its early days it offered an outlet of the (now defunct) Peli Peli Kitchen and Juice Society, both through a program called "Friends of 365" that allowed local outside brands to operate within 365 stores. However, these have since closed down and replaced with a sandwich bar and juice bar, respectively.

Albertsons on Perkins Road (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

This Albertsons looks like it's seen better days, but at least it's not Albertsons Sav-on anymore.
Numbered as #2711 in the pre-merger days (I believe it's just #711 now) but after 1996 (I'm not sure what the original was) and dating back to at least 1987 (I can't find much on this store), this Albertsons supermarket at 7515 Perkins Road is one I visited in August 2025 (which is when this photo was taken). At some point in the late 1990s or early 2000s, Albertsons added an Albertsons Express gas station (it did not have a convenience store, only a kiosk) which was operational until Alimentation Couche-Tard bought successor company CST Brands (it was effectively operated as Corner Store but the name was never put on there).

My previous notes for this store was that a salad bar was added in a renovation under the "LLC" days, but I either didn't pay attention to the deli (a very real possibility) or was removed after COVID (also a very real possibility).

I found it strange that half of the HBA department is in the main aisles (and the stuff near the pharmacy has comically short shelves).

Out in front of the store (I'm not sure when they moved in, but they were there as of 2008) is Mr. Gatti's Pizza at 5888 Essen Lane and Taco Bell at 7541 Perkins Road.

Bristol Farms Westchester (Los Angeles, California)

Source: The Los Angeles Times, March 18, 1979
I'm doing something significantly different today with the first California post on Numbered Exits, this time exploring the history of 8448 Lincoln Boulevard in Westchester, California. This opened in March 1979 as Alpha Beta, with the newspaper advertisement as shown above. The journey to its current tenant, Bristol Farms, began working in 1988 (when the store was less than a decade old) when parent company American Stores Company purchased rival Lucky Stores, triggering a lawsuit by the California Attorney General. In the end, American Stores converted most of the Alpha Beta stores in Northern California to Lucky, with only a small portion in Southern California converted. The rest of the chain (numbering about 145 stores) was sold to Yucaipa Companies (which ultimately sold them to rival supermarket chain to Ralphs). This was one of the ones that remained with American Stores and rebranded as Lucky around 1991.

Google Street View as of this writing. In 1999, American Stores itself was purchased by Albertsons, which converted the store to its own brand and a few years later, in the midst of ongoing restructuring efforts, purchased the small Bristol Farms gourmet foods chain. In July 2005, the decision was made to close down this Albertsons store and convert it to Bristol Farms.

While it was small for Albertsons standards, it was Bristol Farms' largest when it reopened in July 2006 with a major inside-and-out renovation. (The Albertsons employees were sent to other stores). By that time, however, Bristol Farms was under new ownership (through "New Albertsons Inc.", a subsidiary of SuperValu). SuperValu then sold the Bristol Farms chain to investors (through a company called Good Food Holdings) in 2010, which in 2018 was sold to Korean retail chain Emart. I've never been to this store so I don't have pictures of the inside, but the story of this one is interesting enough.

Southern Season (Richmond, Virginia)

Southern Season in its second phase of life. This was LL Flooring's own photo (source).
When Southern Season opened in July 2014 in the new Libbie Mill development of Richmond, Virginia (2250 Staples Mill Road), it was unlike anything the city had seen. Despite being around 53,000 square feet, comparable to other supermarkets, the gourmet market lacked traditional departments like produce, milk, bread, or eggs, it made up for it with over 80,000 items (10,000 of which came from Virginia) with all sorts of sauce, coffee varieties, tea blends, cheeses, craft beers, and kitchen gadgets. The response was positive and the gourmet grocer seemed like a great anchor to the development...but it was not meant to be. Less than two years later, Southern Season announced it would close its Richmond location in April 2016, with the parent company indicating the store was still too large to be profitable and future stores, such as one in Atlanta, being around half the size. The Atlanta store never opened as in June of that year Southern Season declared bankruptcy. Their first and now only store in Chapel Hill, North Carolina would announce its closure a few years later, leaving Southern Season just another online retailer.

A few years later, the building (now under the address of 4901 Bakers Mill Lane) was leased by Lumber Liquidators as their new headquarters and received a full interior renovation. A few years later, Lumber Liquidators rebranded as LL Flooring...and a few years after that, went bankrupt. The whole chain was days away from "Lumber liquidating" itself and its 400+ stores when it was saved by a last-minute deal by the original founder. Along with half the chain, the headquarters didn't make it unscathed and shortly afterwards the newly-reverted Lumber Liquidators announced it would pack up and move the headquarters to its distribution center. Still, hope springs eternal--just about a week ago as of this writing, it is to become a location of ACAC Fitness & Wellness.

Weinacker's Winn-Dixie (Mobile, Alabama)

This photo, via Mapquest (but clearly taken from elsewhere) is one of the few photos of the 1986-2010 iteration of this store.
This post marks the first Alabama entry on Numbered Exits. Albertsons Florida Blog and sister site My Florida Retail have documented many Winn-Dixie stores that got turned into Aldi, which is less "turned into Aldi" and more like "closed with part of it being it being Aldi and the rest being vacant".

In 1986, supermarket chain Delchamps built a store at 1550 Government Street (actually facing South Catherine Street) to replace its smaller store at the same address. This was a redevelopment of Weinacker's Shopping Center (which had, and still does, have a sign on the property, claiming to be there since 1882)¹. Joining Delchamps was Eckerd, which also shared the 1550 Government Street.² In 1990, Harco Drug purchased the Mobile Eckerd stores, and in 1997, Harco was purchased by Rite Aid, though it seems that this was one of the first to go, by 2007 it had been vacant for several years.

Meanwhile, in 2000, Delchamps' parent company Jitney Jungle (which had purchased it a few years earlier) declared bankruptcy and sold off all of its stores. Winn-Dixie Stores of Jacksonville picked up a good number of the Delchamps/Jitney Jungle stores. I had previously believed that Winn-Dixie was the "legitimate" heir to Delchamps and had done a slower conversion over 2001, but that wasn't the case. Instead, Delchamps advertisementdid to try to sell off inventory though not deeply discounted as a typical going out of business sale might be, with this full page ad suggesting that Winn-Dixie closed the stores to do a reset and conversion on them (at least this one)...but the Delchamps name remained on the store anyway for a few weeks afterward.

In 2010, Winn-Dixie (store #1333) did a full inside and out renovation and absorbed the long-vacant Eckerd/Harco/Rite Aid space but in late 2024 was closed to be Aldi, reopening in February 2025.

1. Based on what I can find, the "shopping center" originated out of a store called Weinacker's. The store had been first been built in 1882, rebuilt in 1913, then replaced in 1952, which by that time had evolved into a supermarket. By 1970 (newspaper archives do not exist before then online, at least from my access) this had been divided between Walgreens and Delchamps, with the former selling its Mobile stores to Eckerd in 1973.
2. Both Delchamps and Eckerd shared the 1550 Government address from before the redevelopment. Eckerd had taken over from Walgreens in 1973.

Whole Foods Market on Bellaire Boulevard (Houston, Texas)

This entry was previously found on Carbon-izer (this page, originally--archived here) with updates.

The Whole Foods Market at 4004 Bellaire Boulevard has an interesting history. The first recorded tenant for this address was Henke & Pillot (#17) back in 1949. In 1961, Henke & Pillot closed the store down (big changes were coming for Henke & Pillot—by the end of the 1960s they would take on their corporate parent's name...Kroger!). In 1963, it opened as FedMart, which by this time had dropped the membership requirement from its foundings back in California. The Bellaire FedMart was different from the Mykawa and Wirt stores in the early days. It had different times of operation (opening and closing earlier in the day), smaller (and had less advertised items available), and lacked a rail spur, which the other two had. The store closed around 1979 (FedMart would leave Houston and go out of business within a few years after that). In 1980, "The Grocery Store", a locally-owned discount supermarket opened in the space. The store was a bare-bones discount grocer, it didn't accept checks, had no perishables, and bag-your-own groceries and survived most of the 1980s. (Houston Historic Retail later covered The Grocery Store in more detail).

The Grocery Store talked it up in advertisements. (Houston Chronicle, 4/16/86). Ye Seekers (also known as Seekers) opened in 1991 (1992?). This full-service natural foods store featured a meat department, deli, bulk foods, cosmetics, beer & wine, seafood, bakery, and even a restaurant. Around 1998 it closed, and in 2000, it was absorbed, along with a defunct exercise gym and a Discovery Zone, into a Whole Foods Market, which also adapted the marquee of Bellaire Theater (in the same strip center) as part of the supermarket's signage. This was the most significant change 4004 Bellaire had ever seen, with its outdated loading facilities also rebuilt.

Google Street View can be found here.

Various Lockhart Businesses (Lockhart, Texas)

Once again, we're working from Carbon-izer.com to bring you this latest post (also see the the archived version) with only a few changes, most notably removing the previously covered the late Huddle House. It concerns Colorado Street in Lockhart, aka US-183, which was left a business route after US-183/SH-130 went around it in the late 2000s.

Schlotzsky's / 111 North Colorado Street
This Schlotzsky's opened in 2018 at the site of a former Philips 66 gas station. The signage for the restaurant (branded as "Schlotzsky's Austin Eatery") is very gas stationesque.

Walgreens / 200 S. Colorado St.
The Walgreens occupies a full block and opened around 2007 (completely redeveloped).

H-E-B / 403 South Colorado Street
H-E-B (#445) is the only full-line supermarket in the Lockhart area. The relatively modern store at 45,000 square feet was opened in 1997. Prior to this a much smaller H-E-B faced east on the same lot (about 25k square feet, sharing the building with another tenant). While they were closed, they apparently temporarily occupied the space of Super S Foods at 1220 S. Colorado Street.

Dairy Queen / 1125 South Colorado Street
I wrote about the Lockhart Dairy Queen on Two Way Roads back in 2012...the Lockhart Dairy Queen was built in 1987 (though Lockhart had a Dairy Queen for decades prior) and although the restaurant style wasn't unique in and of itself, it was certainly very different from the rest of the Texas Dairy Queen restaurants with red roofs and fairly limited seating. It also had a playground, which for Dairy Queen was quite rare. The inside of the store wasn't particularly interesting but at least was quirky, with a "Medicare Corner" inside, but sometime between August 2010 and July 2011, it went from this to this...in other words, into a generic DQ model that so many restaurants were being built or remodeled into. No playground, no Medicare Corner.

Fresh Donuts / 910 S. Colorado Street
This generic-looking donut shop was built new (as "Fresh Donuts") in 2016.

McDonald's / 1330 South Colorado Street
McDonald's has been here since 1993, and sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s a Playplace was haphazardly built onto the side. In 2014, the restaurant was demolished and rebuilt without an indoor playground.

Caldwell County Justice Center / 1703 South Colorado Street
This operated as a Walmart discount store (#292) from 1980 to 2012, and it survived long enough to get the modern circa 2009 "Walmart" logo. The renovation to a county government building came a few years later. It also has the county clerk's office.

Walmart / 1904 South Colorado Street
This store opened in May 2012 to replace the aforementioned smaller Walmart.

At the junction of Magnolia Avenue and Pierce Street, US-183 is carried on by Pierce Street east toward I-10 while Highway 80 (which joins at East Austin Street) continues south. There, it ends at Karnes City southeast of San Antonio.

UPDATE 11-16-2025: Split off Family Dollar.

UPDATE 12-24-2025: Split off Whataburger.

UPDATE 04-03-2026: I've made new posts on Kreuz Market, Lockhart Chisholm Trail BBQ, and Plum Creek Plaza, which incorporates two other entries here.

Jewel-Osco in Kenosha (Kenosha, Wisconsin)

Taking a break from the exports from Carbon-izer, this is a quick article about the January 1996 opening of Jewel-Osco in Kenosha, Wisconsin at 7014 Green Bay Road (it's part of a bigger shopping center). It was their first store in Wisconsin after some small, outdated stores left the state decades earlier. Soon after, the company would continue into Milwaukee by purchasing Cub Foods stores.

The new store boasted their bakery producing unique products like kringle (if it's anything like O&H Danish Bakery, whose products are available nationally at Trader Joe's stores every December, then it must have been great) and some regional items available.

Sadly, the store didn't last...while it sailed through Albertsons' troubles, soon after getting the Milwaukee stores as part of the company's break-up, new owner SuperValu closed the Milwaukee/Wisconsin stores (speculated to be part of a pre-arranged agreement with independents in the area), back in 2007. As of this writing, Hobby Lobby occupies half the space today with Jewel-Osco gone once more.

Antoine Drive in Houston (Houston, Texas)

Once again we're looking at a legacy Carbon-izer section transformed and updated for Numbered Exits. This concerns Antoine Drive, which goes from Spears Road (it becomes Spears Road afterward) south toward Memorial Drive (just past Katy Freeway). This page takes those entries on Carbon-izer (mostly from this page) and adds a few ones. It does not include H-E-B Pantry Foods #309 at 5815 Antoine Drive.

AutoZone / 5121 Antoine Drive
Former Long John Silver's 1976-1999 and later home to Little Casita Mexican Restaurant (2003-2006). The building was demolished for an AutoZone around 2007. (Little Casita moved to 5137).

5151-5153 Antoine Drive
This was a Kroger ("Superstore" model, store 160) from 1975 to around the mid-2000s (Fallas Paredes leased part of the store in February 2007, so it was closed by then). By April 2008 this was divided between Fallas Paredes and 99 Cent Only Stores (with a "Watermill Express" water kiosk in the parking lot). By 2015, this was now a vacancy on the south end of the store, YouFit Health Clubs, and King Dollar on the north end. This arrangement would be kept until 2020, and by 2022 the entire building was vacant again before Value Village opened a store in the former King Dollar later that year. March 2023 brought the opening of a Gordon Food Service Store (from their distribution center down the street, see further down this page).

It should be noted that Fallas Paredes and YouFit used the 5151 Antoine name, while 99 Cent/King Dollar/Value Village, despite having the smaller store space, used the numbering from Kroger.

House of Fries / 5322 Antoine Drive
This started out as Kentucky Fried Chicken (1973-1998) and was mostly abandoned (except for a few one-offs that may or may not have existed). Around 2009-2010 was La Seafood and Wings and in 2011 assumed its current tenant.

Island Dental / 6206 Antoine Drive
Grandy's (#2061) was here from 1984 to 1997; sometime in the following decade after that it became this dental office.

Foodarama / 7320 Antoine Drive
While it faces Victory Drive, Foodarama #22 has been here since it moved from 8007 Antoine. It used to be Randalls #34 from 1985 to 2005. Houston Historic Retail has this covered in more detail.

dd's Discounts / 8007 Antoine Drive
This started out as an Eagle Discount Supermarket (owned by Lucky Stores) before pulling out in the mid-1980s and later served as Foodarama before it moved in 2006 to the former Randalls at 7320 Antoine.

Flounder / 8831 Antoine Drive
Built ~2008 as Hartz Chicken Buffet, became Fish Place by 2014 (co-branded with Eskimo Hut?) and by 2015, Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken & Seafood. Sometime during 2018 it became MVP Seafood, which soon gave way by October 2019 to Smoken J's BBQ. In 2023 or 2024 it became Flounder, a fried seafood restaurant.

Gordon Food Service - Houston Distribution Center / 11303 Antoine Drive
This was built as the new consolidated home of local company Glazier Food Company in 2005, but in 2014, national company Gordon Food Service acquired the company and rebranded it. In 2023, they opened up their own grocery stores in the Houston area.

Scottish Inns & Suites / 11233 Antoine Drive
Scottish Inns & Suites Houston Willowbrook opened in 2020.

That's all we have right now. Future entries may likely be added as stand-alone entries...

UPDATE 09-01-2025: AzkoNobel - Houston Plant has been spun off as its own article.
UPDATE 09-18-2025: Country Harvest (Ranchero King Buffet) has been spun off as its own article.

Fiesta Mart #17 (Houston, Texas)

Fiesta at night (2017). This is from Google and "Yelper Lou MC". Not mine, fair use.
As part of the on-going reorganization of some of the stuff I've written for Carbon-izer, I wanted to bring up the former Fiesta Mart at 4200 San Jacinto Street in Houston, Texas.

My fondest memories of the former Fiesta Mart #17 (45k square feet) was in 2014 with its distinctive "marquee" facade that lit up the night, and even in 2014 that felt quaint and a reminder of a different time (though it did open in 1988, there were other places from my past that weren't nearly as old as I thought they were). In any case, this Fiesta closed in July 2020. The closure of Fiesta was met by dismay by the neighborhood but there were several problems, including Fiesta's new ownership remerchandising and modernizing the chain, the large homeless population that milled around the area and intimidated shoppers (sometime in 2019 a fence was erected around the property with a gate that closed nightly), the new H-E-B at McGregor Road, and most importantly--the fact that it was connected to Sears' ownership. The store had opened as a supermarket complement to Sears on land it owned formerly used for parking. When Sears closed the store in the late 2010s and handed it over to Rice, Fiesta was on borrowed time and eventually the lease ran out and was not renewed. With the former Sears becoming the core of the new "Innovation District", the former Fiesta reopened as Greentown Labs, a clean energy business incubator. It should also be noted that since at least 2007 to its closure it had a Church's Chicken inside.


Update: I have been informed that the land was originally Rice's, Sears leased it long-term.

Hi Nabor Jones Creek (St. George, Louisiana)

On one of my other sites, Exor's Dungeon (a part of Carbon-izer), I may have mentioned that it was the Baton Rouge area when I visited family and really got acquainted with Nintendo, with stuff like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 but there was usually still the rest of the house to visit, and that included newspaper circulars. Enter Hi Nabor, one of the Baton Rouge independent grocery stores that still persists today.

I really like these pictures (from Supermarket & Hypermarket Design 2, though I believe the store opened in the early-to-mid 1980s) because the original Hi Nabor logo (or at least as it existed at this point in time) can't be found anywhere; it's the newer one that appeared in the late 2000s that is far more common. So it is nice on the nostalgia end.

The address is 5383 Jones Creek Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 and as you can see it has had some updates since Street View started in 2007.

I've listed the city as "St. George" in the title, however, because it was never in Baton Rouge's city limits but is now in the limits of the newly-incorporated St. George.

Ingles in Farragut (Farragut, Tennessee)

Author's picture, July 2024 This Ingles (around 97k square feet) was built in 2008 to replace a smaller nearby store (35k square feet). The store was great; some good bakery options (half price on donuts after hours) and a bulk section but the center store was rather pricey. Guess you get what you pay for. I took some pictures of things I found interesting, including a convenience store-like counter for the deli, the difference between "Kids Cereal" and "Adult Cereal", and a few others.

The Ingles replaced Farragut Towne Square Cinema 10, which operated from 1993 to 2005. Ingles Market #91 is located at 11847 Kingston Pike in Farragut, Tennessee.

Albertsons Texarkana (Texarkana, Arkansas)

This is how the Albertsons appeared in 2013 per Google. I don't have my own picture, it was overcast and I was losing daylight fast. In what was perhaps the strangest state line crossing I have ever encountered, I turned left on State Line Road into Albertsons #611 (that's the store number today and I don't know if it was ever changed) at 3710 N. State Line Avenue, Texarkana, AR 71854. Tax records indicate the 64,793 square foot store was built in 1974 as Skaggs Albertsons and some newspaper archives from Shreveport do in fact indicate this became Skaggs Alpha Beta by the 1980s before its brief time as Jewel-Osco and finally getting renamed as Albertsons in 1992.

Given the fact that the exterior got a facelift sometime around 2015-2016 I'm assuming that's the last time the interior was updated though there seemed to be construction on flooring on my visit. My photos are below.

This is about what H-E-B charges, but does H-E-B have miniature versions?

A clean, bright store.

The flooring's torn up here.

All real soft drink brands as far as the eye can see.

Can't say Sunkist Orange Diet is very common.

No card required but added anyway.

Kroger (Henderson, Texas)

Street View from 2018. The old Safeway "Food" and "Drug" signs were removed by 2022. Outside of Houston, Dallas, and their immediate suburbs, Kroger supermarkets become quite rare in Texas, especially heading into the East Texas/Davy Crockett Forest area. So it was a bit of a surprise to come across a Kroger in Henderson, Texas. It didn't look like a Kroger initially; my suspicions it was a Dallas Division Safeway that was sold to Kroger in 1987 were gradually confirmed. I later found out the Safeway opened in 1980, relocating from an older 1960s store at 102 Richardson Drive which in turn relocated from an even older store at 212 Van Buren.

I took a few pictures (I didn't actually buy anything initially, though I did end up buying a new and overpriced USB/Thunderbolt cable here (still overpriced) as mine in my car decided to stop working.)

The Safeway "roundel", as Houston Historic Retail would call it, was filled in with a Kroger logo (the good one that was retired a few years ago).
