Qwik Mart/Majik Market

I would not be at all surprised to discover Majik Market (1919) was in the location of the former Qwik Mart (1917). I included the address of Majik Market based on the address of the UPS store, whereas the Qwik Mart address is, I presume, from an 1965 ad. Unfortunately the telephone directories at the Internet Archive seem to be offline at the moment, to so I can't see if the Majik Market address is listed there. --Lkseitz (talk) 21:34, 14 February 2015 (PST)

  • Checked in a 1978 phone book and Majik Market's address was indeed 1917. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I think the door for Majik Market was at the east end of the building. Whereas, from looking at Google Street View, I think the door for the UPS Store is one bay over, even though it extends to the west end of the building. (I wish I could remember whether Majik Market occupied the whole building or not, but I can't.) --Lkseitz (talk) 06:38, 26 July 2017 (PDT)
