Somewhere before that when you're headed south on the opposite side of the road there was a Weis that dates back to the '60's I believe. The old Weis was at 21st Street and US 11-15. The September 2011 Google Street View has a nice view of the store after Weis closed. The old store is now part of t...

The old Food Fair is on 32nd Street (US 11-15) just north of Market Street. Market Street is the old route into downtown Harrisburg from the west before PA 581 and I-83 were built. I had no idea this was a Food Fair until I saw this reference. I too, both on my own and with family, have passed this ...

Other than the ShopRite on NJ 124 in Springfield ( Street View ), are there any remaining identifiable Safeway stores in the NYC area? I remember coming across the Springfield ShopRite completely by accident and wondering when Safeway was in the NYC area. Researching this former Safeway was what led...

EDIT - OK, if I actually read one of the sites... ;) https://shopjubileefoods.com/about/ (This is the MD one) - One of the current owners previously worked for Fleming companies (that's the Kmart wholesaler) that also owned Jubilee. So, what I was trying to remember above is actually what it was! I...

The Sanitary Food Stores listed for Lancaster, they weren't part of the Sanitary chain that Safeway merged with in the DC area where they? We know that Safeway had stores in south central PA but I have always read they were under the Safeway name. Also I thought that the Sanitary name was gone in th...

Curiously if you'd look at my thread on RetailWatchers, I guess Ukrop's would be a good fit for Winchester now that Martin's is the only traditional grocer in the area. Ukrops in its heyday would have been a good upscale competitor for the Winchester area. They would offer something more than the c...

Does anyone have any background on Jubilee Foods? It was a small chain that I ran across traveling through Altoona over the years. At some point they sold out to Ahold who is using the Martins name in Altoona due to Giant Eagle also being there. The only one of the still operating Martins stores tha...

A&P had a division and a warehouse in Altoona up until the 1980s. They sometimes had them in places that seemed too close to a more major city. Toledo was another, bigger example. I think they also had one in Fort Wayne. I’m surprised Thorofare wasn’t here. Do you know the coverage area for the...

Fxburg, I think they held out nicely there and could still, but there was a lot of competition around that time, especially since a Shoppers Club and Winn-Dixie opened right alongside. Wegmans came in towards the end, and Ukrop's just packed up and quit because this was a Giant-MD market. You are c...

The Rockville location was Magruder's for a long time. Now it seems to be a Chinese restaurant. The Kensington address might be missing a digit. The most obvious candidate for it would be Strosniders (hardware) but I think that was an old Acme and the address is on Connecticut Ave. Is the Rockville...

I'm curious about Ukrops motives behind their expansions to Roanoke, VA and Fredericksburg, VA. I'm thinking that the expansion to Fredericksburg would have put them in reach of the Washington, DC area if they had stayed independent and wanted to continue north. That would have put Ukrops on a colli...

The Congressional Plaza Giant closed just before or along with the big very early 90s upscale renovation that Congressional Plaza went through. The old Giant was demolished for a two level space with Container Store on the first floor and a relocated Tower Records on the second floor. Tower Records ...

A couple of items re the Carlisle list: 1706 Spring Street: Josh over on Flickr has this store as Safeway, Shurfine and then Karns. You also note in your listing "106 Carlisle Plaza". I think you have 1706 Spring Street and Carlisle Plaza mixed up. What is now half Dollar Tree and half emp...

Some additional information on Hagerstown: For 1580 Wesel Blvd, that was Martins original location in the shopping center. 1580 is the far right end of the strip. Martins moved to the far left end of the strip replacing Walmart. Walmart moved to a Supercenter off I-81 in 2000, I believe. 1650 Wesel ...
