I loved that Thift-T-Mart. Mom used to shop there. The neighbors (who had a better income) shopped next door at Alpha Beta. Thrift-T-Mart used to carry the Iris soft drinks and other “store brands”. When The Mart folded, my understanding is that they were absorbed by Smart & Final. I don’t recall S&F taking over that location though.
A few of my best buddies lived in the neighborhood behind these stores. There was a giant, empty field between the two forever. In the mid-eighties, we would sneak out at night, cross through the field and head up to the 7-Eleven on the NE side of Shaw and West. I think both grocery stores were defunct by then.
