Agreed. These are gorgeous.

Big expansion. Enjoy!

The content on Groceteria comes from three primary sources: the main site , the message board , and the Google Sheets that generate the location lists . Right now, you can't search across all those. The easiest (and free) way to accomplish that is to add a custom Google search to the site. I don't l...

When Kroger closed in 1989, this one was taken over by Wellspring Grocery, a local natural foods chain that was subsequently acquired by Whole Foods.

On I keep forgetting to add (where you can get a slight taste of the original façade) is this one in Chapel Hill NC:

Opened as a Family Center in 1969, converted to a superstore in 1972-73, and closed in 1989.

Per the sheet:

• There was Skaggs-Alberstons dating from 1975, converted to Albertsons by 1985

• There was a "Food King Warehouse" in 1990, which was a "Food King" by 1995 and had one sister store (in a former Furr's)

That's all I've got right now.

Doubt this one is a Family Center, more a superstore. It opened in the 1976-1979 range (according to the Groceteria spreadsheet and other data) and was bannered as a "Sav-on" for some time. It is also worth noting that Superstores have similar wall patterns, but different column styles. E...

Updated in the spreadsheet. Thanks!

Did Shop-Rite own this? Was this their discount division? Or was it just a completely unrelated discount store that had an agreement with them or something? My guess is the latter (and maybe not even an agreement). It was not uncommon for an an anchor to do a "welcome" promotion when a ne...

No streaming or recording plans that I know of but I may try to record one of them on my own.

I forgot to mention there’s also an interview/article with me regarding the one in High Point:
