Re: history of Giant stores

That's a great list BatteryMill, thank you for sharing! I have multiple friends and family that work for the chain and everything on the list looks great, especially considering the recent relocation of stores they've been doing. My only comments or updates are: Proposed/Upcoming Stores: Dumfries: w...

Re: Texas Updates

Thank you! I found out from a person that lives in that area that it went Wuest’s, then Handy Andy, then Arlans (when Arlan’s bought the remaining Handy Andy stores). A local San Antonio newspaper did a good article spotlighting Kroger’s history in the city. https://www.mysanantonio.com/business/art...

Re: What is the oldest Safeway in operation?

Could this Marina in Lovelock, NV be a contender? Definitely not the oldest location but it’s facade is one of the oldest ones I’ve seen.

Re: SuperFresh/A&P in Washington, DC

Looking for a rough timeframe(s) this A&P store design is from or operated? A family member said they knew of them as A&P's for sure but didn't recall exact timeframes and newspaper archive searches didn't yield much. Based on the ones I've seen on the other location pages and Twitter posts,...

Re: Acme in the DC area

Thank you for the very detailed response! Those are great tidbits to know and keep an eye out for at future old properties for Giant and other chains. Yes, I did see and catch the irony of Giant moving into the Shoppers down the street!

The Acme was at Lee Highway and Graham Road. Grand Union/Great Valu was Annandale Road and Arlington Blvd. Do you know if the nearby Loehmann's has closed? I wonder why the Giant-anchored center is named after that store instead. Loehmann's is bankrupt and closed their only other store remotely clo...
