Former grocery store / supermarket? (Twin Falls)
By any chance would this be an old supermarket? The building design gives me a 70's supermarket vibe. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dollar+Tree/@42.5708925,-114.4593926,3a,75y,25.14h,91.91t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1swTbcpK-W7IZukRp9DBhgLQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthu...

What was this originally? (San Bernardino)
I couldn't find a locations list for this one. This Dollar Tree used to be a grocery store known as Sav-U-Foods, but what was it originally? The sign reminds me of Alpha-Beta for some reason Google street view of the store (as Dollar Tree): https://www.google.com/maps/place/1035+W+Highland+Ave,+San+...

The building reminds me of Penn Fruit but I'm not sure if they even had any locations in California https://www.google.com/maps/place/1110+10th+St,+Modesto,+CA+95354/@37.6428784,-121.0031462,3a,75y,226.42h,98.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2DmzEkuqZZQnstFE9r1YPg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x809053ec449e1...

Safeway Shadeland Ave, Indianapolis
I found this (since closed) vintage looking grocery store with a Safeway sign using a logo that I've never seen before. is this the same Safeway that we're all familiar with or is it a completely different and unrelated chain that just so happens to use the same name?

Re: Super Rite
Apparently "Super Rite" was never a chain of grocery stores rather, a food distribution company. Rite Aid didn't start the company either. From what I've heard, when Pantry Pride went out of business, Rite Aid acquired one of their food distributors, changed the name of it to "Super R...

2 Pathmark stores right next to each other?
I was looking at a Pathmark Super Center on Google Street View when I noticed that there was another Path Mark right next door (?)

Super Rite
Apparently, at one point in time Rite Aid started a chain of grocery stores under the name of Super Rite. Rite Aid spun off Super Rite and they would go out of business.

Re: Did Ann & Hope have a supermarket?
From what I've read Ann & Hope did this thing where somebody could sub-lease a part of the Ann & Hope property and they would put a door in between their business and the Ann & Hope store. I heard Stop & Shop did this with one of the Ann & Hope stores (I'm not sure which one). So...
