Harris-Teeter may have had stores in Roanoke. A friend of mine was hired to become a manager for Harris Teeter and was to relocate to Roanoke when the company decided to send him to the Greensboro area instead. I was told that Harris Teeter pulled out of Roanoke and Kroger took over the Roanoke HT ...

Safeway seems like a likelier bet or perhaps Big Star, although they often used a tile front. Thanks. It really doesn't read like most Safeway or Big Star prototypes I've seen from the era either, and I'm not sure if Safeway was ever quite this far west in Virginia (anyone?). I guess it could be on...

3215 Williamson Road NW, Roanoke VA
http://groceteria.com/forboard/williamson2.jpg There are at least two more stores just like this around Roanoke as well. One in downtown Salem is an antique mall, while one at 1310 Grandin Rd SW is now a natural foods co-op. Based on the "stepped" roof line, they look like former A&Ps...

Does anybody remember a drugstore called Super S by Safeway. I remember going to a Super S in Banning Ca., and when was Super S bought by Thrifty's ? There are dozens of posts about Safeway Super S on the forum including several in this very thread. If you'll do a search, you'll find plenty of info...

I've moved the discussion of multiple stores of the same chain very close to each other (but not necessarily in the same center) into a separate topic, since that's a radically different issue than the one in the current topic:

For clarification, American Stores was required to divest most Alpha Beta stores in 1990, all of them Southern California locations, as a result of its 1988 acquisition of Lucky Stores. Burkle's entity bought the majority of these stores, but some were sold to other operators, and American was allow...

Focusing this toward history (please), the practice of two supermarkets in one shopping center was extremely common until the early 1970s in most of the country, albeit less so on the west coast than in the south and midwest. In fact, it was almost a standard practice for anything above the smallest...
