Wrigley appears in print ads in the Atlanta newspapers @1975. At least one location posted are is NOT adjacent to K-mart stores from that period. 2965 Stewart Avenue (Metropolitan Pkwy), was turned into a Big Star relocation from Crossroads@Stewart-Lakewood, then into a Kroger which still remains th...

Jacob's Drugs. It was on the end of the plaza until later small stores were added.

Found a pic of the old A&P on Riverside Dr in Macon. The pic has A&P in the background of an old postcard from Quality Inn, which was located in the Riverside Plaza at the time.

Even though food depot stores in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi all would seem to be linked, each group of stores in each of their respective states are owned by different companies. The Mississippi stores are owned by Potter and Sims foods. The Alabama stores are owned by Western Supermarkets of ...

Ash-Morrow Shopping Center: Former Big Star that operates as Food Depot.

Tonight I was researching big star locations in Decatur, Ga and found two locations near the South Dekalb Winn Dixie. 2738 Candler Road. I remember a Big Star near South Dekalb Mall, this one was right across the street. Big Lots and Roses Stores are in the former location. Candler McAfee Shopping C...

The winn dixie at the Gallery at South Dekalb was opened in 1971. It was a free standing building built on the outparcel of south dekalb with no surrounding stores. It was in fact a regular winn dixie as late as 2001, then was converted to saverite. It was in fact one of the most neglected Winn Dixi...

I was recently on Wikipedia, and the listing for avondale mall has the notation "first enclosed shopping mall in Georgia. Which is false. The first enclosed shopping mall in Georgia was the Westgate Mall in Macon, Georgia. Westgate was built in 1961, completely enclosed at opening. The only mal...

There was a giant mart in Warner Robins, Ga. Based on Warner Robins Sun Ads, Big Apple in the Williams Plaza stopped appearing in print ads,and was replaced with Giant Mart at the same address. I do not believe that giant mart was related to the Altermans chain, Because there was another Big Apple t...

The Eckerd Stores in middle georgia acutally were very good stores and actually in good locations most of the time Riverside Dr (Kmart plaza) : opened in 1968, stayed in the same location until 1994 before relocating to riverside and pierce ave in the spring of 1994. During the flood of 94, the new ...

The kroger on 2471 Pio no no avenue was actually opened in 1963 with the kmart plaza. This K-mart never had a K-mart foods, but I think the early kmarts did not. it looked similar to the moreland ave shopping center location, but was changed in late 73' to the superstore format, as well as a small a...

Oh, i forgot to talk about the Riverside K-Mart Piggly Wiggly. K-mart opened a store on riverside dr in 1968 with an attatched K-mart foods. When K-mart foods disbanded, Piggly Wiggly opened there (late 1975 to early 1976). There is no documentation to prove that Alterman or Colonial operated this s...

Piggly Wiggly in Macon is a hard item to tackle because of the changes after the 1980's, but Edric's core examples are correct. Piggly Wiggly has been in Macon since 1919. Clarence Saunders actually came to macon and persuaded 6 grocers to convert to self service operations. These 6 stores would con...

This topic has been covered in the macon, ga history partially, But A&P was never in a centennial style building in warner robins. the first a&P was in a flat front building on watson boulevard that was vacated in 1966. The Warner Robins Sun has a picture of the location in late 1966 when a ...
