Yep - sticking to their format of keeping stores where no competition exists (at least in the town).

Doing a quick search came up with: - Valdez - Unalaska - Dutch Harbor - Nome - Homer but not Seward The Nome ad definitely has the Eagle info, while searching Dutch Harbor (on Safeway's site) pulled up a Carrs/Safeway ad and Seward pulled up an ad labelled as Seattle? The only thought (being they lo...

Later.....when Food Fair and Eckerds "did not get along", Eckerds sought out Publix for the same type of agreement. Actually, per the book written by (Jack) Eckerd, he had tried to work with Publix before, but they had an exclusive arrangement with a company called Touchton Drugs. However...

Here are a few other posts that mention Daitch-Shopwell: http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=294&hilit=Daitch+Shopwell http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3138&hilit=Daitch+Shopwell http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=593&hil...

A few more Albany NY area ones: The one in Hudson, when first opened as a "regular" store had a combo KFC/Taco Bell (both of which offered somwehat limited menus, and neither of which was in the area otherwise, though KFC had had a location right across the street many years ago, and there...

Based solely on looking at a map, my guess would be that there wasn't much competition in a place like Greenville (or surrounding areas)? That seems to be a good reason that they would stay open. There was one A&P in Wynantskill, NY (which is only maybe 2 minutes from the Troy border) and probab...

Grand Union had one store in Massachusetts during the 70s through 90s, it was in northwestern Ma in Williamstown. That makes perfect sense, given that they had locations both in NY and VT, neither of which are that far from there. Where was it? I'm going to guess either the building that sits off 2...

First, J.M. Fields was indeed located in Riverside Mall in Utica, NY. As far as addresses for Food Fairs (not Pantry Prides) in the Albany,NY area, I have the following... Schenectady,NY (Niskayuna) Mohawk Mall This one you already described (and it makes sense) Albany,NY Broadway & Wards Lane ...

Also, was the Clifton Park,NY store in Elnora,NY?? I have a link to a Barker sales ad that states Elnora,NY, but it is SO close to Clifton Park... 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 som...

Thought I had seen some of this somewhere - went over to amesfanclub.com and found several posts (search Barkers at the top of the forum). I was able to find mentioned by various members: Meriden CT New Milford CT Clifton Park NY (Based on what was posted, I have an idea where this one was but never...

Actually, per the A&P Corporate site (http://www.aptea.com/pressRoom_article.asp?id=221) it looks like a total of 32 stores closing over 6 states (NY, CT, MD, PA, NJ, DE) with about 1/2 of these in NJ and another large chunk in NY (makes sense since NJ & NY have most of the total stores). Th...

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...

1235 Western Avenue Guilderland,NY 20 Wolf Road Colonie,NY Routes 9 and 20 East Greenbush,NY Mayfair Shopping Center Glenville,NY Broadway Menands,NY Altamont Avenue Rotterdam,NY Upper Glen Road Glens Falls,NY Thank you for finding that list - I knew there had to be more, but just wasn't sure where...

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...
