Just a quick addition, in case anyone wants to check out Slater's Great American in Cairo before it closes down:

As noted elsewhere, C&S was Grand Union's major creditor, and when the chain went under they sold off most of the locations but retained some... those are the ones now operated as GU Family Markets. I've seen several in upstate NY -- they are small, outdated, and seem to be the Grand Union loca...

Hi, Idon!t think that that store was converted to Price Chopper. It was very small and had produce hanging on racks from the wall in the first aisle. It may or may not be - I just saw that there is a Price Chopper and no GU market in Lake George currently. Also, Price Chopper has (unlike so many ch...

Is the Lake George one Price Chopper now? Or Grand Union/GU "Family" Markets? Per the gufamilymarkets.com website, there is no current GU in Lake George, so I guess that means Price Chopper. From a piece of an ad flier that I saved (unfortunately only the part with the locations, but not ...

Do you doubt it was an A&P? No - just that I guess we didn't go to that area as much as others, so I just don't remember it. I only vaguely remember the Great American being there, and since that was likely a later use the A&P was probably gone before I had a chance to see it. Perhaps it cl...

Here are perhaps the oldest buildings left in the A&P chain, including Pathmark and more recent closures: 12. A&P, Catskill, NY (just closed? I saw a half-empty building with Advance Auto Parts in the other half. The streetlights in the parking lot gave it away as a former A&P. Across t...

And the Kingston one just re-opened within the last month (or so) ... as a Popeye's chicken.

No I don't believe it was. I seem to recall an Edwards Food Warehouse in Latham very near Albany which opened I'm going to say mid-80's or so. It's long gone but I can't remember when it closed. (BillyGr: if you see this, please fill in some of the details here.) The building has long been demolish...

I apologize for my last reply. I meant to say that GU markets currently has a store in Massachusetts. I must have skipped over the 6th post of this topic, as Grand Union did not have stores in MA. I also learned today they had no RI stores. My mistake.... BDK I really can't say that they never had ...

A&P is selling 7 more stores to Big Y, including the last non-NYC metro Waldbaums in West Hartford. The other 6 being sold are: Old Lyme, Branford, Mystic, East Haven, Middletown and Naugatuck. This leaves them with 5 A&P's (Danbury x 2, Greenwich, Riverside, Stamford) and 1 Food Emporium (...

A few others from various updates on the Ames board: A&P - Lodi, NJ A&P - East Brunswick, NJ A&P - Woodbridge, NJ A&P - Yorktown Heights, NY Pathmark - Millville, NJ That brings it up to 20 of the 25. Since the original story also said in 5 states (so far only listed are NY, NJ, CT a...

Lots of out-of-the-way supermarket branded stuff also shows up at the local grocery outlet stores. And at Ocean State Job Lots - last summer I think every different type of eating supplies (cups, plates, silverware, napkins) came from a different grocery store, including some in quite far away part...

There was an article in the Albany Times-Union a couple weeks ago on the 50th anniversary of Stuyvesant Plaza (located on Western Avenue, just off what is now the intersection of the NYS Thruway Exit 24 and the southern end of the Northway, along with a part of I-90 that connects the Thruway to the ...

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. This reminded me of something - there is one Pathmark on Route 35 in Woodbridge Township - Colonia area (for those who mig...
