Re: Extinct Supermarket Merchandise

I go throught lots of Rotelle product in my accounts.

How about a pasta brand that I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember how to spell. Gioia? NOT GOYA. It came in a light blue box, disappeared around the late 80s early 90s.

Kroger in Weirton West Virginia

If anyone is passing by Weirton, WV there is an old Kroger on Main Street about a mile off the Route 22 Main Street exit.

Re: Roger's Grocery - and a Rural store

The Roger's Market pictured ( a photo taken from my flickr page) about four posts above is located in Endicott, NY. I doubt it is related in anyway with the Rogers being discussed in this post.

Re: The first store that got me interested in old supermarkets

The Foodmart in South Corning, NY an independent from the 30's until closing in 2006. I spent 22 years of my life working there, and would still be there if it had not closed, which spawned my interests in anything related to grocery stores.

Re: Extinct Supermarket Merchandise

The Franco American name seems to be gone, replaced by Campbell's. I think Marys Kitchen Hash has been replaced by the Hormel name.

Re: Extinct Supermarket Merchandise

I did not think Steakumms went away. They are coming out with frozen burgers in the spring.
Hunts Pudding came in metal cans and tasted better then.

Re: Supermarkets in the Movies and TV

Years ago when I watched Adam-12 they would be dispatched once or twice a season to the same supermarket over the shows run. I always tried to see what products were on display and if a store name was shown.
