351 Loucks was County Market from April 1992 to April 2000. Was bought by Big V which converted it to ShopRite, but then closed in November 2000 when Big V filed for bankruptcy. It didn't last long enough to make it onto the chart, but there was a Safeway at 3140 Carlisle Rd from June 1977 to August...

Couple notes from the Harrisonburg paper: 2035 E Market (Skyline Village)--the Martin's opened 9/12/2007, on the former site of a Toys R Us.

There's an item in the Terre Haute paper from 2012 indicating that the Big Lots at 4650 South US 41 was previously a County Market, and also this ad from 1990 (covering an impressive geographic range!) showing that the address housed a Pick 'n Save.

I feel pretty comfortable that the Grand Union stores in KC were a separate, local chain. It's entirely possible they were connected to the New York chain, but this seems like an odd location for them to choose since they had largely no presence whatsoever in between. A&P most likely entered th...
