I'm not sure what the building originally was but I can tell you that before Dollar Tree the building was The Bargain Shop, and looking at this Google Street View from after the store closed, it appears that before The Bargain Shop, the building was used as The BiWay https://www.google.com/maps/@43....

A quick Google Search lead me to a Facebook page which has several ads for JCPenney supermarkets and also lists some locations https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2120342884655438&type=3&comment_id=2120398961316497 (I should probably do some more research before creating topics on this...

According to an old JCPenney annual report from 1977, they discounted the JCPenney supermarket concept in 1977

Does anybody have any info on this (or better yet, any pictures?) From what I've read JCPenney had their own braded supermarkets. I'm not sure how many of these operated or what regions they operated in, but there was supposedly one at the former Amigoland Mall in Brownsville, TX I once read that th...

More Centennial locations would be a great addition on my list

Anyone else notice how A&P somehow seemed committed to being in Connecticut? The left the New England market in the mid to late 90's (where many of there stores were few and far between anyway), except for Connecticut. A&P had stores in the state up until they went out of business as a whole...

I found this union (?) pamphlet from 1988 and on page 7 it lists A&P as having 2 locations in RI with those being Newport and Richmond https://libraries.ucsd.edu/farmworkermovement/ufwarchives/foodjustice/31_May88_001.pdf I always thought that A&P left Rhode Island sometime in the 70s at the...

I made a list of A&P Centennial locations.

Here's a link to my blog where you'll find a the Google Sheets list along with a little more info about the list:

One thing I forgot to mention is this newspaper article from 1995 about Edwards super food stores acquiring several A&P locations. According to the news article, Several of the A&P locations being acquired are "In or near Rhode Island" https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xp...

I found this A&P filing report from 1994: http://getfilings.com/o0000043300-94-000011.html The report says there were 4 A&P location in RI http://getfilings.com/o0000043300-96-000015.html This filing from 1996 doesn't even mention the state of RI So that would mean that A&P left the stat...

The Bradlees discount store chain had the own supermarket division known as "Bradlees Discount Foods"

Does anybody know where exactly these Bradlees supermarkets were? I cant find any locations.

I'm assuming some of them became Stop & Shop due to them acquiring Bradlees

Does anybody have any info on this? There was an "Ames Discount Supermarket" located at 41 Stephenville St, Massena, NY 13662 It was operated by the Ames Discount department store chain. The Massena location was located next to an Ames department store and used the same logo that Ames was ...

My bad

Just fixed it

I stumbled upon this vintage IGA sign in Daniels, VA on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dollar+Tree/@37.7281024,-81.104798,3a,80.3y,251.49h,94.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sT2QZdrnU0u6cQPBcHO67fQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m7!3m6!1s0x884e8d07ac357825:0xe3073c69ee414ea3!8m2!3d37.7277341!4d-81.10412...

By any chance would this be an old supermarket? The building design gives me a 70's supermarket vibe. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dollar+Tree/@42.5708925,-114.4593926,3a,75y,25.14h,91.91t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1swTbcpK-W7IZukRp9DBhgLQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthu...
