My father managed the yucaipa store for a few years. Him and my step mom and uncle retired from Alpha Beta before Ron Burkle bought them out. My hubby worked on a few of Ron Burkles houses years back. Said he us a down to earth country boy...:)

Google "Yucaipa Films" . You will find a lot about Yucaipa Co. and Ron Burkle, Bill Clinton is employed by them. Also Yucaipa Investments., The Yucaipian Theater. Very interesting reading.
