The large building at this site was the home of El Sobrante's first supermarket, which opened in 1951. Owned by the Louis Store chain, the store was renamed LoRay in 1965 when the business was bought by Loretta and Ray Dickenson. A portion of the building also housed Fowler's Variety Store, owned by Logan and Mary Ellen Fowler. Adjacent to the right, El Sobrante's first Foster's Freeze opened in 1950, giving way in 1961 to the Park Pharmacy building.
