Was there a different A&P in Randolph on Route 10 near Center Grove Rd. where the current A&P/strip mall is now? Also, on a similar note was there a bowling alley in the Ledgewood area in the early 1960's on Route 10?
Not sure about the bowling alley but yes, there was a Centennial A&P in Randolph where the current A&P stands. If you go to Historic Aerials you'll get a better idea of how things changed throughout the years.
What happened to the earlier one? Did it burn down, or was it just knocked down for the new center?
It was knocked down to make room for the new shopping center, although I believe there was a small fire inside the building as it was being demolished.
That A&P used to be a Centennial. The original store was on the same property, but faced Rt.10 head on (I could be wrong on the orientation)... It was demolished in the 90's from what I remember..
