San Ramon CA 3181 Crow Canyon Rd. Lucky/Albertsons

This was one of the nicer stores of the old ASC Lucky chain. Three stores received an "upgraded" interior around 1997: Sacramento-Arden Way (now Whole Foods), Lafayette (also now Whole Foods), and this store in San Ramon that Save Mart just announced closure of.

Albertsons did not touch the interior decor here but what they did do was a nice center store reset adding in Wild Harvest and Shop the World departments; not many NorCal Stores got these departments. Both departments remain today under Save Mart, complete with the Albertsons-issue signs.

Here are photos of the store. Most are of the store as an Albertsons. A couple are as Lucky. I was so disgusted by the Save Mart remodel to this store I did not take many pictures, but it still was an above average looking store despite the "work" done by Save Mart.

This store will close by September 28, 2013.
