The classic 1962-90 Kmart logo appeared in all kinds of proportions and incarnations; ranging from upright to "compressed" and spread out, and with the "K" alternately positioned far, close, or even overlapping with the mart (which was sometimes placed within a box, for good meas...

A little while ago I received a tip-off that there was a largely unaltered Kroger superstore in Jackson, Michigan; one county west of Ann Arbor. I checked it out on my last road trip, and I wasn't disappointed! (Well, aside from about the fact that my pictures didn't turn out very well...) http://fa...

I'm a bit late in discussing this (as I've had the pictures uploaded for about a month), but I finally paid a visit to Mason Brothers' Red Owl store in Green Bay, Wisconsin...supposedly the second-to-last grocery store in existence still bearing the Red Owl name. Red Owl was for much of the 20th cen...

Might it be a centennial store tucked away in New Jersey, or something along those lines?

Excellent preserved store. They even reused the oblong circa-1976 A&P sign frame. That logo is actually from 1973, when WEO stores were either closed or converted back to A&P. Are you sure? Around here, at least, A&P was using the old round logo in its newspaper print ads at least as la...

I think this is a Save-A-Lot floor design. I have seen it in several stores that are not in former A&P's. I'm sure that the well-worn, tile-mismatched floor predates Save-A-Lot moving in (which was in the mid '90s, by my recollection). The store operated as an independent market, then a Foodlan...

Last week I went on a trip to West Virginia to visit my hometown and tie up some other loose ends. While I was there, I took the opportunity to check out the Kroger superstore in Gassaway; the last (or possibly second-to-last) superstore I was aware of in the state still in operation with original e...

I'm a bit curious about these Long John Silver's to Taco Bell conversions: What do they look like, architecturally? It's kind of ironic, when you consider that both chains eventually ended up in the same hands...

Excellent preserved store. They even reused the oblong circa-1976 A&P sign frame.

Wow, thanks!

I've noticed a number of good abandoned Eckerd pictures on Flickr. Here are a few:

OK, so it only took me two years (almost to the day), but here it is: A fine 1988 Kroger Cost Cutter Lambrusco. For those moments when you wanted something classier than malt liquor. But not much classier. Ah, so it's true: Cost Cutter does have everything! Hilarious. It's also anyone's guess what ...

Has anyone ever heard of a format or store branding designation called Kroger Express ? http://www.andrew-turnbull.net/new/kroger-steubenvilleoh.jpg The image above is a cropped screen capture of some news footage from 1996. (The reason for the footage to exist was a rather unpleasant event , but he...
