STEEN'S Location #1

1957 to 1961

19 East Valley Blvd. Alhambra, Ca.

19 East Valley Blvd. today.

19 East Valley Blvd. is now "Wonton Time" restaurant. This store front is probable the first STEEN'S location. Manufacturing maybe the first all synthetic oil and selling Midgets and Go-Kart parts.

Inside Wonton Time it dosen't look big enough to manufactor the first all synthetic oil.

STEEN'S Location #2

1962 to 1965

939 West Valley Blvd. Alhambra, Ca.

939 West Valley Blvd. today

939 West Valley Blvd. is now Van My Gift Shop. This is the 2nd STEEN'S location. Manufacturing of the Mini Bike started here. Models made here were the (West Bend 820, 710, and 580), (Power Product AH58), (Briggs & Stratton 3hp), (Briggs & Stratton 3hp) and the early (Briggs & Stratton 2hp).

This is the back lot of 939 West Valley Blvd. This is probable the birth place of the Mini Bike.The popularity of this Mini Bike would cause STEEN'S to out grow this building and soon move to there biggest and final factory.

STEEN'S Location #3

1966 to 1976

1635 West Valley Blvd. Alhambra, Ca.

1635 West Valley Blvd. today.

This is the front enterance and side parking lot. I can imagine the brand new 's being shipped out from the loading dock on the side of the building.

This is the front show room of the factory from across the street.

Today the last STEEN'S Factory is now the "Dollar Club" a 99 cents store rip off.

The picture on the left is the front entrance of the STEEN'S show room as you walk in from the street. The picture on right is the opposite end of the Show room. Imagine you were one of the luck kids who walk into this show room with your parents to buy a brand new , and of course some STEEN'S-C synthetic oil.

This picture is from the back of the show room looking out to West Valley Blvd.

After you walk in to the show room you go to your right and it opens up to a large warehouse. You can see from the picture on the left from the 1967 and 1968 STEEN'S catalog showing the assembly line of 's a glimpse of what it must of looked like in the factory. The picture on the right is current day looking from the right corner to the back left of the warehouse.
