Laneco

Post by pseudo3d »

Has anyone heard of this chain? It was a combination store (though not terribly large, 86k-100k square feet) with general merchandise (a surprisingly large amount dedicated to soft goods, like womens clothing) owned by Wetterau since the early 1980s before being shut down in 2001 under SuperValu. Laneco also operated Twin Valu in its division.

I think they also were called Food Lane at one time. I remember they had one store in the area of NE Pa. where I lived in the earli(er) 1970's in Moosic which is adjacent to Scranton. It was a new build store in the Birney Plaza which also featured an Arlans. Neither one lasted that long (a couple years at best) with the Arlans becoming a K-Mart (which in now a Shop-Rite) and Food Lane became an Acme or Super Saver.
