Dick Yee was an entrepreneur who once owned a chain of shopping centers in the South Bay. These shopping centers were anchored by Dick's Supermarkets. The chain is no longer in existence but fortunately for us, several of the old signs remain. The first Dick's Shopping Center (1948) was located at 1020 North 4th Street in San Jose (the sign, BTW, is still there). The 2nd (1959) was at 1145 Lawrence Expressway (then called Lawrence Station Road) in Sunnyvale (AKA Dick's Lakewood Shopping Center). The 3rd was at 1400 South San Jose - Los Gatos Road (AKA Bascom Blvd.) in San Jose (the sign for this center is pictured here). The 4th was on the corner of Homestead & Lawrence Expressway in Santa Clara.
