Still looking for an answer regarding what originally occupied the space at 370 N. Fairfax.
In meantime, across the street (415 N. Fairfax) next to what is now Cantors used to be an A&P and 419 was a Safeway! (1936)

Around the corner on Beverly in or around 1932:
7161 Piggly Wiggly;
8100 Von's Grocery (1936) now a mini mall;
8108 Piggly Wiggly; and
8110 an A&P! Both 8108 and 8110 may now be occupied by a Linen Store (below).

According to the source, only the Vons was listed as a grocery market by 1936 so either the others moved or were occupied by non-chain merchants.
