AWG does not own the Harvest Foods/Little Rock stores. They are owned by Afffiliated Foods Southwest, http://www.affiliatedfoods.com , who is based in Little Rock. They purchased a small portion of the stores out of Harvest Foods' bankruptcy, as well as the name. AWG does own Homeland, but OK is cl...

The Huntington and Elkview stores have the white busted block facades common to early to mid-80's greenhouse stores, Elkview looking as if the greenhouse may have been covered in its remodel, while the Huntington store if a greenhouse has seen a more extensive remodel. However, the front view of the...

My guess it's a post-centennial store built to match the center. Its facade has likely been redone, as most A&P's of the 1970's would have a facade similar to Winn-Dixies in the South of the same vintage.It likely sported the then new A&P pill/oval logo before its closure. A&P seemed to ...

The first time I was in Arkansas, as a child, was my first introduction to Safeway, but my family didn't go to one on that trip, a superstore Kroger was across the street, and a familiar name to Georgians. Looking back I wish I had been able to go in the store, it was a marina style store. I can't r...

Dixie Home was operating in Georgia at the time of the Winn-Dixie merger. I can cofirm Athens, Elberton and Hartwell being Dixie Home stores. Also, the Augusta area would be a likely candidate. And in Gainesville, the original Winn-Dixie was in Dixie City Shopping Center, so it's likely another Dixi...

Lucky's was only in Albuquerque very briefly. I did not know of Lucky's presence until the stores were sold to Raley's as a result of the merger of Lucky's parent company, American Stores, with Albertson's in 1998. I'm pretty sure that the stores were formerly bannered Skaggs Alpha Beta, but have no...

The economic hub of Meriwether Co. was Manchester and Warm Springs with Greenville being secondary as well as the county seat. Woodbury is close enough to the other 3 towns that it's likely a modern era supermarket never developed. I was somewhat surprised that Ingle's chose Woodbury as for its entr...

Does anyone know the history of Lucky's brief existence in New Mexico? Were they former Skaggs Alpha Beta/Jewel Osco locations or an expansion? I was under the impression that Albertson's acquired all the Florida and Southwestern Skaggs AB/Jewel Osco locations in the mid 90s. After the Albertson's m...

All references to this illusive predecessor to Food Fair have always been Frederick's. The stores were obviously ahead of their time, being fairly large for the era and pioneering supermarket pharmacies. Did the pharmacies continue into the Food Fair era? All the Pantry Pride stores I had even been ...

The layoffs are starting sooner than I expected. How many Longs and CVS stores are redundant? I know CVS has a bigger presence in SoCal than Longs, while their BayArea and NorCal presence is small, but Longs has critical mass. CVS has shrank the size of the former Sav-on's and reduced store staffing...

I wonder if this store ever made the conversion to Homeland Foods after 1988. The Oklahoma division which was the Oklahoma stores and the Texas panhandle stores were spun off as the privately operated Homeland Foods, which are now part of AG of Kansas City. The Little Rock division became Harvest Fo...

The concrete pad from the old Dalton, GA A&W is still visible after being closed for more than 25 years. And old scholl A&W drive still operates a litttle northeast of here in Madison, TN across from a still operating drive-in theater. A new build A&W is in Sevierville, TN amid the outle...

This is a small town prototype from the late 70's-early 80's. There was once one in South Pittsburg, TN almost on the TN-AL border. It closed in the mid-90's, after the arrival of Wal-Mart. The Harriman, TN Kmart of the same prototype survived until the bankruptcy and shared the center with a small ...

The bright sun was also bad for the earlier scanners and most checkouts were located in the area exposed to the glass. East and west facing Kroger greenhouse stores were vunerable to the rising and setting sun interferring with the lasers ability to read UPCs. I guess the energy crisis and scanning ...

I've not seen a new build LJS in years. The most recent example I have seen is Highway 58 in Chattanooga which opened in the early 90's. Most LJS locations here were built in the mid-70's and their age shows. Most have been converted to LJS/A&W combos, but only half-heartedly after the initial 2...
