Re: Red & White stores

Re: 2 Supermarkets In One Shopping Center
... Also, in Charlottesville, Virginia, there is currently a Kroger and a Harris Teeter at opposite ends of the shopping center. I don't spend a whole lot of time in Charlottesville so I don't know how long that's been the case. Seems to me the Kroger may be new. I know the Harris Teeter has been t...

Re: Westland Fair at Decatur and Charleston in Las Vegas, NV
Below is a link to an archived article on when the Wal-mart was planning on coming to the shopping center in 2000. It had a Builder's Square prior to where the Wal-mart is currently. It has also several smaller stores where the Lowe's is and talks about a Vons and Raleys at the time that has since c...

Re: Texas Updates
Great updates, thanks! The only question I have is about the two Food Lion locations in Abilene. Were they there so short that there's hardly any to no record of them other than the physical stores? When I researched Food Lion's quick attempt in Texas I saw Food Lion's at: 909 N Willis Street, Abile...

Re: Early Kmart closures (PRE-1994)
I believe the one in Petersburg, VA also falls into this category but it's been a while since I researched the exact date it closed.
It's right behind this address: 2336 E Washington St, Petersburg, VA 23803

Re: NEW: Williamsburg VA
It's interesting to see that Safeway made a belated, cursory, one-store attempt at securing a toehold in the city in the 1980s! Safeway actually had a reasonable (though not huge) presence in the adjacent Tidewater/Hampton Roads area in the 1970s and 1980s, so Williamsburg, which is halfway between...

Re: New Uses for Grocery Stores
A hidden gem of a city that has multiple grocery and large retail stores that have been used for new purposes is Abilene, TX. There are two Marina Safeways here One is a Bingo Hall (Ambler Ave) The second is a Planet Fitness (Barrow St.). The clerk at Planet Fitness said he remembers it had been a B...

Re: Safeway Marina interior oddity?
Abilene has two very well preserved Marina's. Attached are two other pictures of the interior of the store you are talking about. I do not believe it had a drop ceiling but I am not well versed on their history either. The link for more photos of the two Abilene Marina's is: https://texashistory.unt...

Up until recently, there were 2 Arby's in Roanoke that still had the original sign, they have since been updated with the new sign but you can still see the old sign in street view. 1 - https://goo.gl/maps/sbX98bkw8iB2 2 - https://goo.gl/maps/uQe9XYGW9kp In the Richmond, VA market there are multiple...

Re: Former Boston Market locations in your area
In Virginia, notably the DC suburbs Boston Market did the similar quick expansion then quick contraction. But the ones left are very evenly dispersed through the denser and inner suburbs of the metro area. There were two in Prince William, the one in Manassas closed and is now a Five Guys, the Woodb...

Re: Fredericksburg, Virginia
I was in Fredericksburg the other day and noticed one of the old Safeway locations along Route 1. It looks like an old Marina style store. It looks very similar in age to the one in Orange, VA. Google Street View: https://goo.gl/maps/MLqCqXUbgWs Due to the street layout, you can get just over a 180-...

Re: New location list: Albuquerque, 1929-1959
Does anyone know the history or context of how Piggly Wiggly ended up with a few stores that looked like Safeway Marina's? The 913 Sunset Road Piggly Wiggly was what triggered the inquiry. I thought it may have been a Safeway originally since there was one across the street later on (a replacement s...
