former Alpha Beta and Lucky, now Albertsons, Milpitas Blvd. and Calaveras
Blvd.
Although the store's interior is from the current Albertsons motif, 1970s-style
ceiling speakers inside still hint at the store's past, as does the older
styled front. Located just across the street from a new Safeway, which
is Safeway's first store in Milpitas in many
years.
