I think anything Scotch brand is owned and trademarked by 3M. I never saw a Ralphs generic line but the closest might be Mountain Dairy, which is all Kroger-bannered stores. The closest Albertsons has is their Good Day products. Stores that are supplied by Certified/Unified use Special Value. Super...

Those are cool, but I was actually more interested in ones in use at stores that are no longer Kroger. Sorry. I misread your subject. I can't find any photos in my collection, but I seem to remember seeing a few recycled cubes, maybe in Columbus or elsewhere in central Ohio. I think one may have be...

Thanks. Again, though, this thread is focused on former Colonial/Big Star stores that are still operating as grocery stores of some sort. That's the pivotal difference :) Columbus Ga, the former Colonial/Big star now Laundrymat http://www.edricfloyd.com/dscn1558.jpg I do have other photos from Colum...

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

Interesting Older Dominion/A&P Locations in Toronto
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 Locations in Toronto
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. Gemco is entirely on-topic; they (usually) sold food and were owned by Lucky. It's the discussion that emerged tonight that WASN'T ...

There's also this really amazing one which was mentioned in another thread, but apparently was always a Dominion:

Re: Toronto General
Thanks. That clarifies it all beautifully. So I assume IGA Canada operated in the same co-op/franchise manner as its US cousin, rather than as an actual one-owner chain.
Any specific Tornoto-area ex-Safeway locations I could scout on my next visit?
