Charlotte NC 1988: Kroger/Bi-Lo Swap
Hi all... I know this was discussed on the old board, but I'm bringing it back to life here. In 1988, a strange series of swaps happened between Kroger and Ahold-owned Bi-Lo in Charlotte NC. What happened, from my memory and miscellaneous research, is that Bi-Lo exited the Charlotte market in April ...

Re: Former Safeways in Los Angeles
Hi Gang, Forgive me if you think this is an inappropriate post for this part of the forum, but I want to know the addresses of all of the former Safeways in the Los Angeles, CA area that became Vons stores in 1986. Benjamin (StoreLiker2005) Not inappropriate at all. I'd like to see this list too, a...

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought I remembered it as a Futurestore; I believe it opened close to the (brief) time I lived in Myrtle Beach in 1986. I knew about the Family Marts; I've been to the one in Columbia; if I'm not mistaken, there is another former FM in West Columbia or Cayce as well. ...

Re: Richway
LS Ayres in Indianapolis had "Ayr-way" (which, like Richway, was eventually bought by Target). Federated Dept. Stores (Lazarus et al.) had Gold Circle and Gold Triangle, while May had Venture (in St. Louis & Chicago, as well as places in between). Kroger operated a small number of Gol...

Re: Retro Ingles
I would assume that these are fading rapidly, but since I've seen 2, I would assume that this was the "standard" Ingles format during the 1970s, and as such, was just wondering what the current status was (if any). Actually, I was told that the prototype pictured in my journal actually be...

Oh, and I forgot about Charlotte, where I live now. (Dislaimer: I wasn't here when the following was...I can't guarantee 100% accuracy. :wink: ) It seems that in the beginning of the Charlotte mall landscape, the format was to have a smallish enclosed mall, the anchors of which were a Woolco-type s...

Smith's stores in most of Arizona were converted to Fry's (KR's Arizona brand). The Fred Meyer brand lasted for basically one year before KR thought it wiser to sell under a better known local brand than Fred Meyer...so the Fred Meyer Marketplace stores finally became Fry's Marketplace. I believe y...

This was one of the more active and interesting threads on the old message board and I've reposted it here so we can continue with it: Posted by luvgrocerystores on 11/3/2005, 1:40 am Way back when it seems like some "real" indoor malls had grocery stores. I guess the idea was that you cou...

Vintage Supermarkets in Movies and TV (Old Ones Only Please)
We've done this topic before on the old message board, but I thought it might make a nice ongoing discussion here as well. Which movies have featured noteworthy location shots of old supermarkets? I'll start with these, in no particular order: -- The Odd Couple (1968): Bohack store in Manahttan. -- ...
