There were Lewis and Coker stores all over, I think. I dont recall seeing one next to a Kmart. There was one on Holcombe at Greenbriar.

That is the one I recall, it was gone by the mid to late 70s, just before Eckerd's became CVS. We lived a few blocks away, I was in my very early teens, pretty much all I remember is a small grocery store with a cigarette machine by the exit... These are my younger brothers in front of the store, apparently peaches were .39c /lb :)

Yes I remember going to Lewis and Coker to shop with my mom. Mom shopped at the Hill croft Store. Many fond memories as my mom and Mrs Coker were good friends. Therefore mom shopped there often and also at Weingartens in or near Bellaire. 
Now I shop a lot at Rice Epicurian on Fountain View. Guess my favorite store now. Great meats and friendly staff. 

Weingarten's was in Rice Village, corner of University Blvd and Kirby.
