Re: Grand Union

And I might add, right next to the patchogue post office, was an OLD OLD OLD 1930's (EARLY 30's) A&P that was open straight to the late 80's, even when they had the second A&P down the road off of sunrise (near pathmark). If you drive by and look into the store, original lights and everythin...

Re: Grocers in "real" malls - not strip malls

In the NE, pathmark still operates quite a number of locations inside *old* malls. These stores are fairly old, some of them 30, 40 years old. However, most have been expanded.

Re: New York: Bohacks

I got a question, bohacks opened three super bohacks before they closed, and they were not under the bohack name. Anyone know the banner they were under? There was one in Patchogue

Re: Edwards/Finast/Super Finast

I remember Finast well, straight till 96 97. Edwards was not around here on long island that long at all, maybe to the 2000 foiled merger with pathmark? Then all edwards and foodtowns became stopnshop (the Mel White foodtowns used to be good stores). Over the past 5 years, a lot of these former Melf...

I remember the Edwards up the road in with the intersection on 25. The back of the store faced the road, which the store didn't last long.

Re: New York area: Waldbaums (Safeway?)

AP isn't putting a new store up in this location, and will stay empty.
That other waldbuams is a nice store inside ! and does good business
