The N.W. Boulevard Memorial Page

The N.W. Boulevard Memorial Page A Place To Discuss All Things N.W. Blvd. With the impending closure of store #233 on N.W. at Maple in Spokane. The store is expected to close by August 11, 2011.

Boulevard in Spokane, WA; this page is a place where all former employees of 'The Boulevard' can share stories, memories and photos of their 'Tour Of Duty' at 'The Boulevard'. The Boulevard was not an easy place to work, but over the years, turned out some of the finest employees in the division. Through the very long and difficult work days, the very high customer count and the very low sales per

customer, Boulevard employees shared a great deal pride and camaraderie. So if you know what 'Food Stamp Monday' is; If you know who the 'Cat Man', 'Arbo', 'Tinky', 'DC', and 'Super' are; if you have ever had Bruce call for a price check for 'Mrs. Norton'; ever chased a beer runner down the block, enjoyed a delicious breakfast of beer and cinnamon rolls in the parking lot after throwing a huge freight load or witnessed or been a part of an epic shoplifter fight in the parking lot; you can truly relate to the 'Boulevard Experience'. If you feel proud and consider it an honor to call yourself a 'Boulevardian'; take a moment to join this memorial page, share a story or a photo, and ensure that the spirit of 'The Boulevard' will never die. Let's keep this forum a fun, light-hearted place for positive memories and reflection. Since this page is not affiliated in any way with Super Valu or Albertsons, comments related to those companies or any other negative comments will be removed. For the record, here's the official press release:

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: On Wednesday Albertsons announced plans to close its store located at 1617 Northwest Blvd. Albertsons strives to ensure the success of all its stores. However, given the competitive and difficult economic environment in which the company operates, it is occasionally necessary to close those stores that are not meeting company goals. While the decision to close a store is difficult—given the impact on associates and customers—Albertsons has a responsibility to do what is best for the long-term growth and success of the company as a whole. And with those terse two paragraphs, the legend comes to an end. That's all folks.

I can’t believe this happened at a Fred Meyer rather than at Albertsons #233. 😮

It is with a very heavy heart that I pass along the news of the passing of Connie Mackleit. Connie was the most genuine, selfless, and sweetest person to ever work at the Blvd. She was surrogate mom to countless young people that worked at the Blvd. over the years. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone. Rest in peace Connie. You had more of an impact on more people than you probably realize. You will be missed.

These poor employees probably could have done without this. Maybe they'll all get some extra hours to help smooth the transition to their new stores.

More bad news for the once mighty Albertsons grocery store chain. Best wishes to all displaced employees. Hope everythin...

More bad news for the once mighty Albertsons grocery store chain. Best wishes to all displaced employees. Hope everything works out for you guys.

Albertsons will close two grocery stores in Spokane next month, based on lower than desired sales.

Very sad to pass along the news that Pamela Chivers has passed away. Pam worked at The Blvd. in the mid-1980's. Not only was she an awesome person, but an extremely hard worker. Condolences to her family. RIP Pam.

Looks like 'The Blvd' is being reincarnated... rumor has it that it's going to be a Goodwill (and possibly a gym?).

TBT!!!! Who remembers these?
