December 1, 1928 was interesting day in Susanville, especially at the intersection of Susanville and North Gay Streets. On this date, Bank of America took over the Lassen Industrial Bank. Safeway opened its store in the telephone building. Safeway would move several times, first to the Del Mar building on the 600 block of Main Street. In 1939, Safeway built its first store at 60 South Roop, known today as LMUD. In 1963, Safeway relocated to the 1600 block of Main Street, now the current home of Grocery Outlet. Then in the early 1990s to its current location.
