Home of the first IGA store in 1926.

Looks good. To add to those Burnett listings - Stop & Shop was open in the spot that is listed as Edwards, I'd assume that was around the time they merged the two brands. They then bought the space where they are currently (which had been a Caldor, so sometime after that chain vanished) and built the current larger store there.
And, if you want to have some fun - the plaza right next to that last entry ShopRite on Winslow Gate Road currently has an Ocean State Job Lots.
BUT - that was actually a never opened Grand Union that they were building in 2001 when they went bankrupt.
It was a new design, called Grand Union Mega Save - the only one I know of opened in Albany on Central Avenue (for a whole 6 months), but if you see a photo from that and the look of this building it's quite obvious it was to be that.
Address is 3456 North Road, Poughkeepsie NY 12601
(Something that is history of a different sort, just under the never opened category :) ).

Great. Thanks! I've added notes on the Burnett stores and on the Grand Union!
