Pinole Food CenterDescription
TENNENT AVENUE BUSINESSES: In 1961, some cars had fins and the west side of Tennent Avenue
between San Pablo Avenue and Pear Street was fully occupied, with the Pinole Shopping
Center/Pinole Food Center grocery store and meat market, the post office (before it moved
to a new building on Pear Street), Valentine’s Cleaners, and the Town Tavern. These buildings are
gone today, and all the land is vacant save for the Pump House gas station and convenience store on
the southwest corner of San Pablo and Tennent.Copyright
