ARDEN-ARCADE/TOWN & COUNTRY
Note: Mailing addresses for this unincorporated portion of Sacramento
County always use the "Sacramento" moniker, even though it is not part of
the City of Sacramento. (However, Arden-Arcade is at present
considering
incorporation.) According to Les Cobb of the Western Stores and
Gas mailing list, the "Arcade" area/95821 zip code is more known as "Town
and Country" (which gave the shopping center at Fulton/Marconi its name)
by long-time residents.
Note 2: The area east of Mission Avenue and west of Walnut Avenue
was part of Arden-Arcade until 2001, when the boundaries were shifted to
include it with Carmichael instead, though Les mentioned on the WSG list
that Carmichael's postal boundaries have always extended that far west.
Note 3: While Arden and Arcade (Town & Country) are seen as one area
administratively, there is a bit of delineation, with the boundary line between
the two being El Camino Avenue.
Former Arby's and Boby's Roast Beef Sandwich Shop, now Z Auto Sales/Choice
Auto 'n Truck, 2425 Arden Way (west of Fulton) (New, 11/10/06)
Groceteria's webmaster and a few other members helped ID this one for me.
It's now a building in a used car lot, and I can't believe I didn't
recognize the design considering a similar design still operates as Arby's
near the house I grew up in in the Bay Area. A newer Arby's unit exists
today a few blocks west on Arden Way. Tspauld's library research from
April 2007 notes that this was a Boby's in 1975, after having been Arby's
in 1970.

Former Safeway, now Tognotti's Auto World, 2509 Fulton (at El Camino)
(New, 12/14/06)
This store operated as a Safeway from at least 1963 into the mid-1970s, but
has been Tognotti's for decades now. The second of two Sacramento-area
marinas, Tognotti's front sign was replaced a few years ago with the current
look. Tspauld's library reserach notes that this marina last operated
as Safeway in 1976, and became Tognotti's the very next year.

The nondescript architecture of this building is very similar to the ex-Gemco

on the Groceteria board, this was Gemco #531. (Another ex-Gemco in
the Sacramento area serving as a Target is at 5001 Madison Avenue in the
North Highlands/Foothill Farms area.)

Safeway as late as 1964, in the wavy-awning style that was used in the late
1950s (as exemplified in other units along Broadway and on South Land Park
Drive in Sacramento).

in the area (which was east of the current Quik Stop).

this unit once had a car wash, but lost it by the time it converted to BP;
he also notes that it was an one-time off-brand of Tosco's after originally
converting to 76 post-BP, a debranding possibly resulting from the proximity
of the Marconi/Watt 76 station (7/10ths of a mile to the south). A
nearby 7-Eleven stands on the site of a former Tidewater/Flying A station.
