Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

Located close to the ShopRite of Millburn is the ShopRite of Springfield. Like the chain's Millburn store, the ShopRite of Springfield (in Union County, NJ) is another longtime Village ShopRite located in a building which began life as a different supermarket. Although I realize that the Springfield...

Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

The next ShopRite I will discuss is the ShopRite of Millburn (in Essex County, NJ), located at 220 Main Street and owned & operated by Village. Much like Netcong and Chatham, the Millburn supermarket is a classic ShopRite still in operation. But unlike those other two stores, the building which ...

Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

Although I cannot figure out how to post an image from Newspapers.com that allows one to zoom in, I think I figured out a way to share a link which allows one to view an image or article (and enlarge it) properly. In 1977 and 1978, a number of ShopRite newspaper ads listed all of the chain's locati...

Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

I did figure out how to save a Newspapers.com clipping as a JPG file and then upload as many as three of them as attachments to a post. However, because the JPG attachments could not be enlarged, I decided to delete those attachments. And unfortunately, posting a lot of those clippings as JPGs beco...

Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

There actually was a ShopRite in the town of Chatham proper, which was located at 393 Main Street and opened on June 6, 1956. It does appear that there was quite a bit of time in between the closure of that ShopRite and the opening of the Chatham Township ShopRite. I did not research whether the 393...

Re: Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

Back to the Netcong ShopRite, I previously mentioned that the interior has been updated over the years. However, one element in the interior is almost certainly original: the signage on one of the walls of the liquor department. If you enlarge the third photo in Zachary's profile of that supermarket...

Historical Information About ShopRite Locations (Past & Present)

Though I am not sure how often I will have a chance to update this thread, I would like to have a thread devoted to historical information on ShopRite locations (past and present). I think a good place to start is with the ShopRite of Netcong (in Morris County, NJ). This supermarket opened on Septem...

Re: A&P stores in Maine in 1990s

From the portion of the A&P that was visible in the photo, the store's exterior looked very unusual; in fact, the best way I can describe it is that it looked like the A&P was on the bottom level of a house. (On the upper level of the "house," there were windows and there was sidi...

Re: A&P stores in Maine in 1990s

Look for the site of Calais alumni . org - Calais is a small town in Maine that fits the original poster's description (it is actually a small point of ME surrounded by New Brunswick on 3 sides), and would be a logical routing from Bangor into Canada as the poster suggested. The site has some photo...

Re: A & P's on Cape Cod, Mass.

Great site -- I just discovered it this weekend. In the early 1980's, I was employed at A&P #191 in Mattapoisett, Mass. (near Cape Cod). At the time there were numerous A&P stores on Cape Cod, announced by a memorable sign at the Buzzards Bay rotary ("A&P on Cape Cod" with sto...

Re: Last A&P (Under that Name) to Close in Pennsylvania

Not sure about Mount Pocono, but the North Towanda A&P closed on 12/10/94, a little after Lehighton. Thanks for your informative response. Regarding the Lehighton A&P, there are some interesting bits of information which I either overlooked or did not previously mention, courtesy of article...

Re: Oldest Operating A&P

The think these 4 A&P 's are now the oldest A&P still opened. they all started out as early 1950's Arch roof A&P's that later got a front remodel into the "Centennial/colonial" design. They are: 289 Bergen Boulevard, Fairview, NJ (A&P Food Market) 507 Prospect Avenue, Litt...
