Re: Great American

Re: Great American
Ilion,NY was indeed a former Loblaws, as was Whitesboro,NY and Little Falls,NY. If we add the Chicago Markets(NY) in 1986 and the Genetti's Supermarkets(PA) in 1969, this adds a lot of stores... 0ne on Pultney Street which was a former Loblaws and now a Salvation Army Thrift Store. That brings up so...

Re: Barker's Department Stores
I'm adding Wallingford,CT to the list. But I also have a question about this location. I have links that say there was a store in Wallingford,CT, so my question is this...Before Barkers took over the Grants in Meriden Mall in 1975, was this where Barkers was (became a Zayres??)?? Location would be O...

Re: Barker's Department Stores
This is the post I originally read on amesfanclub: "I believe that a Barkers in Clifton Park later beacame a Joy's Department store in the 80's sometime". Based on that, the store location is at the corner of Route 146 & 146A, which is about 2 miles west of the intersection of Routes ...

Re: Barker's Department Stores
Groves, Tx.?!? Keep in mind I'm not doubting you in any way but what the heck were they doing down there? There must be a story behind that one. I could not believe it myself, as I thought that San Antonio was the only area of Texas they had stores. I was wrong. From all the research I've done, Bar...
