If they acted a bit sooner before KKR was ready to dissolve the whole division, they could've snatched up the chain, rebranded all their stores in the area as "Schwegmann by Albertsons" and could've had a real solid base there. But...they didn't. The vast majority of the Schwegmann stores were ...

I still live in DFW and remember to this day when Food Lion announced that they were coming to Texas and specifically DFW. One of the heads of Kroger said that it would never work out. That Food Lion had no idea what it would take to "entertain" the DFW grocery shopper. There is a truth in what he ...

There looks like there's a store missing from the list, 5151 Lapalco Boulevard in Marrero. According to "SCHWEGMANN GETS BIDS FOR 7 STORES - LAST 11 OUTLETS MAY BE AUCTIONED May 14, 1999 | Times-Picayune, The (New Orleans, LA)". One article I read somewhere (Supermarket News I think, don't have it ...

This (661 Scotland Rd, Orange NJ) was an operational A&P store at least as late as 1973. I think that just about says it all... Screenshot 2024-05-01 at 8.37.20 PM.jpg Not exactly sure when one in this area closed, but it was only slightly larger. However, that location operated for a fair time ...

A&P was largely a victim of its own arrogance over the years. They believed firmly in brands you couldn't get elsewhere - Jane Parker and Eight O'Clock Coffee, to name two. They believed firmly the stores they built were fine for the average shopper, who was at the time the American Housewife. They ...

The store was subdivided.

So Macy's wasn't the first with Toys R Us... Montgomery Ward had a full sized Toys "R" Us in their Gaithersburg MD location https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1986/07/22/wards-toys-r-us-set-venture/c81f5478-5c29-4ce7-ad70-bc690de2ba2f/ Sears' K-B Toys experiment sounds more similar to ...

Kroger appears to have also tried out the Family Center format with their Henke & Pilot stores: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/1585986/ Better quality image: https://www.newspapers.com/article/lake-charles-american-press/109375350/ Correct. Several of the originals were indeed Henke's Family ...

As I understand it, some of these drugstores did not have actual pharmacies, and the lunch counters were replaced by pharmacies. (There are some CVS stores that don't have pharmacies, though mostly in tourist locations). Walgreens does this too; I went to a store in Orlando near Disney last summer ...

You're also missing Eisner Foods, who was at the time of their demise a division of Jewel; Skaggs Alpha Beta and Alpha Beta. S-A-B in Texas and Florida became Jewel for a time in the 90s before being sold off to Albertsons.

ServiStar also tried to start their own corporate stores, building two in Longview, TX in 1984. Both were nice hardware stores, but were started at the time (especially in Longview) that large scale building supply warehouses started coming to town. They were gone by 1996, but both buildings are ...

Greenville is not recognizable at all: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7AxozTRfRckqfNyq7 The Fayetteville store is not recognizable from the road, and Historic Aerials only goes back to 1980. But it is located at 3340 N College, roughly what would have been between Fayetteville and Springdale at the time ...

I think I found the missing link in Arkansas - there appears to only have been one. Fort Smith, 4000 N O St.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LjyUQF5M16YhSRfL7 Currently Troung Son Supermarket and a few local stores. Heavily remodeled, and of brick construction, not the aggregate tilt wall most of the ...

I know most of the directories may list Schwegmann stores in 2000, but I'm fairly sure they all closed in 1999. A good number of the stores were purchased by Robert Fresh Market and A&P (to become Sav-A-Centers), but this would have happened before that point.

Both Gulfport and Biloxi are tough because of their location and its predication to hurricanes. Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005 really reshaped the first few blocks of both cities, almost up to the railroad about 6-10 blocks north. There are photos from 1969 of a nearly brand new Centennial A&P ...
