1950 Grabateria next to Peninsula Bank

Couch and Currier grocery store 108 S Jersey ( 8527 N Lombard ) as it looked in 1950.  Located behind the St Johns Drugs sign, the building was remodeled by Couch and Currier October 1922.  Their store was called the Grabateria.  Originally they had been located in the building where H F Clark had his first store at Tacoma (Alta) and Jersey (Lombard).

December 2, 1921 Couch and Currier of the Grabateria store have made arrangements for the construction of a building on South Jersey St south of the Peninsula Security Bldg. 8635 N Jersey.  This is the same Currier who co-owned Bonham and Currier just down the street.
