Re: GEM Discount Stores Toronto, Canada
GEM operated one store in Cleveland for a short time in the mid '60's, on Miles Road in Warrensville Heights. I think that people who were union members were also permitted to join, because my dad was invited. (He never did join.) The store did not last very long, maybe 3-4 years. It then became a V...

Re: A&P "A" Mart.
You are correct. There was a Revco adjacent to the A&P, which became a CVS and lasted until they moved across the street. Giant Eagle then expanded into the Revco/CVS space. A&P had built three of these stores in Cleveland that I know of, the Bedford one, one on Brookpark and Ridge Roads in ...

Re: Former supermarket, Elyria, Ohio
The dime store at Ridgeview was G.C. Murphy. They also had a store in Kamms Plaza (Lorain Ave. and Rocky River Drive) in Cleveland. These are the only Murphy's in the Cleveland area that I know of.

Re: A&P "A" Mart.
The A&P was on the Libby/Warrensville Center side, behind the May Co., at the very end of the L-shaped strip. It is currently a Murray's Auto Parts. This was one of the nicer A&P's at the time, and lasted nearly to the end of their Cleveland operations. A&P had built a new store nearby a...

Re: Cleveland, OH: What was this abandoned store??
This was originally an Uncle Bill's (Cook United discount operation.) I believe it was a Kmart for awhile after Cook United went out of business.

Re: Lakewood Hgts Blvd, Cleveland, OH
As far back as I can remember, this store was Rego's Stop-n-Shop. I believe this was Rego's first store, so maybe it was built as a Rego's. BTW, I have shopped a few times at the Rego's in Kamm's plaza and it gives you a comfortable feeling like you are in the old Stop-n-Shop.

Grants also had a store in Chardon and one in Medina for sure. I believe they also had a store in Biddulph Plaza in Brooklyn which subsequently became a Silverman's (small local discount store chain which actually had more of the feel of a hardware store -- lots of interesting household items you co...

This was definitely an Uncle Bill's/Pick-n-Pay combo. I believe it was the second one, the first one being the aforementioned one on Broadway and Aetna Road in Cleveland. The Broadway store became a Kmart after Cook United folded and remained a Kmart until 2002 when it closed at the time of the bank...

I lived near, but not in this area from 1966-69. At that time, the end of the building in the picture was a Goodyear store. The plaza is L-shaped, the Fisher's was on the opposite end facing East 93rd. I was in this Fisher's once with my dad when we went for a walk but we were almost exclusively Pic...

The Giant Eagle in Lakewood opened 6 days after Tops closed. Giant Eagle was in a smaller store across the street that I believe started out life as a Kroger, then became Stop-n-Shop after Kroger left Cleveland. I understand that the Lakewood Tops was the Cadillac of the west side Tops stores. The K...
