Hi all. Through my own error when I was clearing out a very off-topic post, this whole thread was accidentally trashed. It was pretty much the digital equivalent of ""my finger slipped" and it's the first time it's happened. My sincerest apologies.

The flagship Belk store in Charlotte's SouthPark Mall had an independently-operated cafeteria on its second floor until the 1990s. I believe the downtown Charlotte store also had one and it may have also had a snack bar/grill. Meyer's (unit of Allied Stores) in downtown Greensboro NC had two restaur...

Very nice photos. Thanks. Cool. Now I have a better idea of what the Barracks Road Colonial looked like when it opened here in Charlottesville. It's a Kroger now, just renovated. I think you mentioned this store in another thread as well. Was it one of the stores Kroger took over from Harris Teeter?...

Re: Original Raley's Location
The company history, published in 1989, features an old ad which lists the address merely as "Lower Main Street".
