Re: Trader Joe's Westfield NJ: What was it before?
I know for a fact that Trader Joe's was originally an A&P that was built in the early 50's. I serviced the refrigeration in the original store which had embosses tin ceilings and both a front entrance on the street and a rear entrance to the parking lot. Each entrance had 2 checkouts. The store ...

Re: A+P Clinton, NJ
I can tell you that the curent A&P location in Clinton was built as is in the late 70's early 80's and it has changed very little since then. The interior is still virtually the same color scheme. Standing in the parking lot, facing the store to the left (I believe it is to the left) is a small ...

Safeway in Monterey
I recently spent a week in central California and happened on the 50's style Safeway in the center of Monterey. When did this store close? And does anyone have any photos of this classic gem? Guess who did not have his camera at the right time? I also finally visited the original marina Safeway on M...

Food Fair in Phila
I am not familiar with that location, but there is that exact prototype store in Elizabeth NJ on Route 1 north. It is now a Daffy Dan's clothing store and has had one addition to the building, but the glass front, the blue color is still the same. I did find the Elizabeth location on The Food Fair l...

Former Pennsylvania Market
I finally took some decent photos of a former market for my first posting on this site, and then I discovered that I need a web address, so until I figure out what I'm doing (or someone can tell me another way) I will have to describe the location. It is as the intersection of Route 413 and Business...

wegmans vintage photos
Many of the new Wegman's super stores contain large, hanging, black and white photos of some of their early stores, 1930' thru 1950's. Does anyone know where I might get copies of these early photos?

I's guessing Food Fair on this one, that was my initial thought as soon as I saw the photo. Did Food Fair ever occupy Charleston? Looks alot like the defunct ones here in NJ (think Phillipsburg, and Newark). If not it would then be an independent. The raised area in the rear was almost certain the m...
