Interesting thing I discovered while researching my upcoming section on Charlotte NC. For a few months in 1976, most of the Kmart Foods locations in Charlotte were rebranded as Wrigley stores, with new signs and everything. This was done by Allied Supermarkets, apparently to distingush the ownership...

Harris Teeter/Big M
In 1970, Harris Teeter stores in Charlotte NC rebranded many of its units as Big M stores. This was a discount brand, an answer to Colonial's Big Star stores and A&P's A-Marts. Does anyone have a date on when these stores were reunited with the rest of the chain? I know it was sometime between 1...

Re: Pantry Pride in Richmond, VA
Richmond is a confusing place when it comes to studying what became what. It always seems to be one of those "except" places (like Food Lion buying Hannaford, except in Richmond, which went to Kroger, or Big Star/Grand Union selling Virginia stores to Food Lion/Harris Teeter, except in Ri...

Interesting. Bruno's also operated a Food World chain in the deep south; I think it still exists as part of the new Brunos-BiLo entity. AND there was a separate Food World chain in North Carolina and Virginia which sold out to Harris-Teeter in 1984. This chain was based in the town next door to my h...

Re: UK Safeways
I am not sure if Safeway is in UK still and havent seen them in other European countries. As mentioned above, Safeway UK has been merged into Morrisons. And as mentioned on the very site this message board is a part of , "Safeway expanded worldwide in the 1960s, with divisions established in t...

the pak n' save chain was owned by the Vons Companies till Safeway bought them out. Actually, I believe Safeway acquired Pak 'n Save in 1983 when they purchased Brentwood Markets, the Northern California chain which started it. Safeway attempted to build up the chain from that base. They never did ...
