Re: Giant Food in Philadelphia Area
Giant only bought the above location because Safeway would only give up the Feasterville store if Giant took over the lease on the Warrington store. It was just kind of there for the 'hell of it'. It never made a profit in the 2 years Giant occupied it, and I doubt it ever saw much profit as a Genua...

Re: Genuardi's locations, remaining
Jamison opened in 1999 in a new shopping center. It has since been given a lifestyle remodel and added a pharmacy. Warrington (now closing) opened in 2001 and never saw a remodel. Everything in this store still pretty much looks like new due to the low amount of traffic. It will be interesting to se...

Re: Modern Genuardi's closures
The Warrington Genuardi's store was never a busy one. This store opened in 2001 around the time of the family sell-off (out), and was the last location that the Genuardi family had a part of. Wegmans opened across the road in 2006, pretty much killing off whatever business they had. The store also h...

Re: Thriftway vs. Shop 'n Bag
You can see the original Shop 'n Bag logo in this 1987 commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12HN4llzxBY And yes, as mentioned, there isn't much left of Thriftway and Shop 'n Bag (although currently, they have about the same number of stores as Genuardi's). There are some multi-store grocers fa...

Re: Genuardi's locations in PA
Jamison opened in 1999...a small store in a small town, but was given a full Lifestyle remodel a few years ago. A pharmacy was later added in under Safeway's ownership. (You have "Warrick" listed as a town, which is likely a misspelling of Warwick Township, which is made up of Jamison and ...

Re: Extinct Supermarket Merchandise
I miss Fab One Shots. It was like a pair of fabric softener sheets with big holes. And one load's worth of powdered detergent stuffed between them. The soap dissolved (mostly) in the wash. And then the empty envelope was your fabric softener sheet in the dryer. Perfect for college kids. Ingenious. ...

Re: Smith's/PriceRite/Food4Less Las Vegas
Question: Were these "Price Rite" stores somehow linked to the ones currently owned by Wakefern Food Corp. (aka. Shop Rite) on the East Coast?

Re: Supermarket logos used for other purposes.
Was this logo on a price sign or something? I doubt it was something produced by the Lucky Jeans Co. Itself. I have seen many times in print ads, printed signs, etc. people may use the wrong logo (usually pulled off google) to show a brand even if they're not related. And Kind of off topic, but in t...

Re: Kids R Us
The ones around the Philly area all became Office Depot's.... (they were pretty much non-existent in the area before that).

Re: Former Boston Market locations in your area
All the Boston Market's in PA (at least in South eastern PA) were former Roy Rogers locations. There are a scattered few still open as Boston Market, but many have been converted to other restaurants (Wendy's, Saladworks, etc.). A few near me converted to Donato's pizza restaurants (during the time ...

Re: Summer Road Trip to Philadelphia and Suburbs
Image# 34: I didn't know Acme still had stores that looked like this. Surprised given this area is more upscale (There is a Wegmans in Princeton, NJ). Image # 47...There is another Big Marty's in Hatboro, PA that looks exactly like the one pictured. I guess it was an Acme too at one point as mention...

Re: Super Fresh-does it still exist?
SuperFresh is still around...somehow. They acquired a bunch of locations (mostly the smaller, older stores that Giant didn't grab up) in the Philly suburbs from the now-defunct Clemens Family Markets earlier last year. Of course now Pathmark is part of A&P/Super Fresh.
