My father in his store, the De Luxe Groceteria, at 494 14th St. in San Francisco, sometime during WWII. This was a neighborhood grocery, but similar in size to the Skaggs Safeway stores he worked in and later managed in San Francisco during the 1920s-1930s. There's a photo just after he opened in 1934 here.
The building is largely unchanged but for the absence of the then-typical awning and tilework about the windows. The lot next door was vacant then as well.
You're right, I did type Guerrero instead of 14th; I fixed it.

The address you give above is 494 Guerrero St, but the Google Street View link points to 494 14th St. (494 Guerrero is near 17th St.)
The neighborhood groceries that used to be such an SF fixture are a dying breed, with notable exceptions like Bi-Rite.
