See's Candies opened its first shop in Los Angeles in 1921. The company had 12 shops by the mid-1920s and expanded to San Francisco in 1936. There are now more than 200 shops worldwide with most of them located in California. Even the modern locations have similar, white-paneled buildings.
The Stockton location closed around 2009. Since at least 2011, the building housed Time Honored, a jewelry store. The store closed in 2020. It now houses Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice. [map] The San Francisco location appears to be from the 1940s or 1950s. [map] The Corona del Mar location opened in 1956. [map] The Santa Clara location was probably built in the 1950s. [map] This Los Angeles building houses a store and one of the company's two factories. [map] The South San Francisco location houses the other See's Candies factory. It is also the company's headquarters. I believe it was built in the 1950s. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] The Tucson location appears to be from the 1950s. I don't know of any other vintage See's locations outside of California. [map] |
