Flashes

2/15/00 - www.cheesestorebh.com said recently on the radio that they are one of the biggest cheese stores in L.A.

1/16/00 - www.ethnicgrocer.com is reported to stock 20,000 ethnic foods and offer recipes. Enter country and food to check for match. Per Daily Breeze 12/24/99, Rave!, page K31. Also, they report you can feed the hungry for free with a click at www.thehungersite.com.com. Only one click per day per computer counts.

11/4/99 - All the 400+ Lucky markets in CA became Albertson markets yesterday. Albertson also owns Sav-on drugs, Max Foods, and SuperSaver stores which may keep their original names. That makes Albertson the second largest food and drug operator in the USA with 2400+ stores in 38 states and 220000+ employes.

Just Got 99¢? There are several of both stores, and their content varies by location. Both have room-temperature foods. Also, some have cold food, frozen food, & liquor license. Both have kitchen odds & ends, but Pic 'n' Save tends to be over priced.

Since content varies by location, I should specify that I usually shop where both stores are side-by-side on the north-west corner of Sepulveda Blvd & Vermont Ave, just west of the 110 Harbor Freeway, and between Harbor City and Carson. Hawthorne Blvd. has another pair .
