Thrifty to Rebuild 3 Destroyed Stores: The Thrifty Corp. retail chain said it will rebuild three of the four drugstores that were destroyed in the Los Angeles riots. The stores to be rebuilt are at La Brea Avenue and Rodeo Road, Crenshaw Boulevard and Rodeo and Crenshaw and Slauson Avenue. A Thrifty location in the 4700 block of Venice Boulevard will not be reopened. Last month, Thrifty officials said the ailing chain might not be able to afford to rebuild any of the stores, which are expected to cost a total of $6 million to replace.
