Scope and content
The McKinley Food Market, at the corner of So. 35th and McKinley Ave., joined the Thriftway Store group in August of 1945. They occupied the first floor of the Porter Apartments building. The McKinley Market was owned by Arthur Hooker, manager of the grocery section, and Sumner More, who was in charge of the meat department. The store had been recently remodeled. Thriftway Food Stores was a new and expanding group of supermarkets sponsored by the Younglove Grocery Company of Tacoma, with stores in Tacoma and in the Bremerton area, home-owned and home-operated. The Younglove Grocery Company was sold to Associated Grocers Co-op of Seattle in 1948. (TNT 8/30/1945 p.26 & 8/18/1948 p.1)
