This is the Bi-Lo supermarket in Renovo, PA. Part of Penn Traffic. Can anyone tell if this was another store at one time? Maybe an A&P?
Bi-Lo Foods in Renovo, PA, what was it before?

I believe it was an old A&P. I drove past there several years ago, I think when the 1940's left, they forgot to take that town with them. Did you check out the Weis store on the other end of town? The inside of that store hasn't been touched since it opened around 1958-59.

Excellent preserved store. They even reused the oblong circa-1976 A&P sign frame.

That logo is actually from 1973, when WEO stores were either closed or converted back to A&P.Andrew T. wrote:Excellent preserved store. They even reused the oblong circa-1976 A&P sign frame.

Are you sure? Around here, at least, A&P was using the old round logo in its newspaper print ads at least as late as January 1976.Ephrata1966 wrote:That logo is actually from 1973, when WEO stores were either closed or converted back to A&P.Andrew T. wrote:Excellent preserved store.
