Re: Vintage Supermarkets in Movies and TV (Old Ones Only Please)

There is a scene in the early part of the movie "The Irishman" with Robert DeNiro that shows a Food Fair logo on a grocery delivery truck.

He apparently works for the Food Fair warehouse in Philadelphia as a delivery driver to the stores.

Very cool to see!
