I saw the pill-shaped signframe, saw the vaguely 1970s supermarket-like roofline, and my instinctive thought was "Hey! Maybe that's an old A&P!"

But when I looked at it more closely, I had second thoughts. The entrance configuration looks "off" for a supermarket. The building's a bit small, and in overhead imagery the middle portion looks like it's been expanded onto on the back, left, and right alike. Hales Corners is a small Milwaukee suburb, and they don't have much property data online.

Any ideas?

I would guess not (not an A&P, not a Super). The dark brik and mansard roof are classic if generic 70s touches. I doubt that someone would have modified the facade later and kept either.
