A&P/Big Star, Atlanta, 1992
Just out of curiosity, when A&P acquired all the Atlanta-area Big Star stores around 1992, what banner did they end up operating under? Was it A&P, Sav-a-Center, or something else?

Re: Chicago Photos
It's a nice one, and still has elements of a 1970s interior package that was probably its first and only remodel. Glad to know what it was.LadyNoir wrote:The Hungarian Kosher place across the street which I saw featured on Oakton here somewhere was once a a Dominick's in the early 70s.
