I'm going to be travelling South next month, and wondered if anyone had info on any former Colonial/Big Star locations that are still operating as supermarkets. I am going to be driving from Jacksonville FL to Savannah GA to Augusta GA to Aiken SC to Charleston and then back. I would appreciate any ...

There were two Sky City stores in Augusta, GA back in the 70's and early 80's. The oldest one was downtown on Broad Street--and was junky, dirty, and busy. I believe it was right next to a main stop for the city bus, and it and Woolworths were close to each other. The other one was out toward the ed...

There were Walgreen Agency drug stores here in Oklahoma. I guess they were kind of like franchises or something. They were locally owned, but did carry some of the Walgreen private label items. Mostly smaller stores in smaller towns. Longs still has (as of last summer) several stores in Colorado Spr...

The house brand items from the late 80's or early 90's that were the second tier were called Harris Teeter Mor- (or More?) Value. I have a couple of items from this era that are called this. The logo was in red lettering, and a different look than today's Harris Teeter logo. Used to travel that way ...

There were Food World stores here in the Midwest also--Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska that I know of. These were around in the 70's and early 80's. They were licensed by Scrivner (the wholesaler that was acquired by Fleming). Since they were independents, some of them remained that after Fleming got ...

Food Club Stores owned by Publix?
Back in another thread, someone had mentioned that Publix had owned stores called Food Club. I went back through trying to find it, but didn't. Anyway, how many of these stores were there? How were they different from regular Publix stores? Did these stores (or Publix) use Food Club as their house b...

In several Alabama cities in the mid to late 80's----there were Food Giant stores adjacent to Kmart......probably originally Kmart Food. The Food Giant logo on their brand of products was very similar to the current Food Lion logo.....I found a couple of vanilla extract bottles still in their origin...
