Reposted🏎️ 🤡🌸💥@stellacope - ZEEZO the SAFEWAY clown was a spokesperson for this grocer in the late 1960s, shown here in a promotional mailer, #1969 #zeezo #zeezotheclown #safeway. Safeway grocery name came from its original #slogan—“drive the Safeway; buy the Safeway” suggesting customers buy their groceries on a cash and carry method as they did not offer credit. Many families got into trouble (and still do) buying their groceries via credit). The #marina styled design—barrel vaulted roof and large sans serif red letters were an integral part of the store’s identity. Safeway was mostly a west of the Mississippi chain although 355 stores were present alone in Maryland, 64 n Delaware and 72 in Virginia the only east coast stores. - #regrann (at Zeezo's) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3m2t6nCcU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ozhfzw4vjpkt

They rarely talk about it at work - but @zeezosinc was founded by the most awesomely disturbing, stereotypical 60s era clown imaginable ;#LarryZEEZOCampbell. When I was small,the chain was called #ZeezosMagicCastle with small stores all over North CO and the front range. Trying to talk my boss into bringing the "Magic Castle" aesthetic back as much as possible for the new store. As well as seeing if Larry will let us use Zeezo as a mascot of sorts. No clue how it will fly. Will do some more designs for my boss when I can and a skateboard. Meantime I made this little magnet-clip thing if creepy-cool ol #ZeezoTheClown (at Zeezo's) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3mGGPHSeG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ctiq9pxhqz02
