Re: empty store, ronkonkoma NY

It was an A&P years ago (1975-1985ish?!)...that shopping center replaced the old A&P that was about a mile or so south on the corner of Division Rd. and Hawkins Ave.

Re: Woolco

Some of the other Suffolk County, NY Woolco Locations were at East Patchogue (leveled, now a Lowe's), Lake Ronkonkoma (now a kohl's) and Rocky Point (now a kohl's). From what I have been told these were all Grants stores that turned into Woolco, then Caldor! Hope this helps!
