I lean toward Kroger, but I'm not sure. Any ideas on this one?

Actually, Western Auto is not really a department store, but more of a auto parts/hardware store.

Carry-over from another thread: One store I'd recommend visiting is this Dominion in Mississauga (western Toronto suburb). It's one of the few A&P/Dominions left that still has a parcel pickup. Here's a couple of pics I've taken of it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78111739@N00/324452982/in/set-7...

Safeway briefly operated in the Toronto area. Anyone with info on specific locations?

Thanks. I'm going to start a separate topic on Safeway Toronto locations in the other forum, which I probably should've done before:

David : Thanks for the cleanup. I was trying to keep this neat and organized, and I realize that Gemco is somewhat marginal when it comes to Groceteria subject matter.

Any specific Tornoto-area ex-Safeway locations I could scout on my next visit?

Welcome aboard and thanks for the info.

Any guesses on this one? I'm still going through odds and ends from my big road trip last fall.

A few I've seen on still-open stores: -- The Woodhaven MI store featured in this topic . -- Martinsville VA (Greenhouse) -- Marmet WV (Greenhouse) -- Athens OH (Greenhouse) -- 3417 North High Street, Columbus OH (Greenhouse) -- Surfside Beach SC (Greenhouse) I think there are a few others in Columbu...

The store may predate the superstore and be a remodel/expansion of a 1960's build. I was thinking that too, since it seems more rectangular than the classic greenhouse. Most of the ground-up greenhouse stores were closer to square, as I recall, with split aisles. I sort of get the same feeling abou...

Hi and welcome aboard. We're glad you're here and hope you have a lot to add. Please keep a few things in mind while you get used to the way this board works. These will help you be taken more seriously and will make your moderator's life much easier: 1. Slow down. Consider lurking a bit before post...

Deleted several off-topic, non-Gemco, and non-supermarket posts.

I've moved this to Specific Locations/Commercial Archaeology, since that's what it's about. Let's please keep it HISTORY focused.

Thanks,
David
