Possible very old A&P--anyone confirm?

At 203 Haverford Ave. in Narberth, PA, there is an Ace Hardware store called Ricklin's (actually they just dropped the Ace name) that has a sign like a 30's A&P. This store is in Google Street View.

Here's the Google link.

Could be an old A&P. The double doors make it look possible, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Those two display windows on the side look a little off to me. And I think that shed-like extension on the left side (which I'm guessing has the sign shape you're referring to) is a more recent addition.

I think this may have an F.W. Woolworth store. There were several along the Main Line.

That sounds like a really good bet.
