I'm a bit late to this conversation but I have information to add. I was part of the managerial staff that opened the third Fazio's Discount Drug in Plano Texas. We were not as well received as we had been in Irving and Mesquite so the business did not last long there. We opened on the corner of Cu...

Since you seem not to believe anything I show you, here's the indisputable evidence I gave you there too: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19791120&id=mplHAAAAIBAJ&sjid=R38MAAAAIBAJ&pg=5642,5251829 It's an ad from The Victoria (Texas) Advocate. Look in column three, thi...

The Kroger FC location in College Station opened with Family Center signage but only had the regular grocery / food and drug mix. (on my list I have it under "never opened" since it never actually opened as a family center despite its signage) I could be wrong but I think that location wa...

There was one that was missing. A 1996 article mentions a store in Lake Charles, the only Schwegmann operation that far west. I imagine that it was closed by year-end like the Lafayette store was, but I don't know where the Lake Charles operation might've been. If one ever opened in LC, I don't kno...

Having worked for one of K-Mart's better regional competition, I can tell you that you're missing something big: K-Mart's inexpensive, but often poor quality house brand merchandise, which was a long-term liability. It helped them live through the stagflation era of the 70s and 80s and it was margi...

Here's something I have become curious about--Westside Pavilion, the late California mall that was built in 1985, received an outdoor expansion in 1991 (later replaced with a large movie theater) and eventually closed in 2019 for Google offices. From what I can piece together, the basement of the ma...

New Orleans is now updated through 1975. More to follow; I'll actually be able to take this one all the way to the present. The page mentioned an Albertsons at 3400 Tulane, which was listed in the footnotes as a mistaken address in 2015. There was an Albertsons there and the only Albertsons in New ...

Just a little late-night musing... Alternate history: In 1986, Lucky Stores spun off it's GEMCO division. As a new company, GEMCO struggled to find its place in the late 80's discount arena. After closing all but their California stores in 1989, GEMCO went on a massive rebranding campaign, focusing...

Britt's opened a department store in Bryan, TX in the early 1970s though it heavily leaned fashion when most department stores were full-line. It was 60,000 square feet though and in the late 1970s was kicked out for a J.C. Penney (which lasted less than a decade in the spot before it moved to anoth...

There's an article in the New York Times that talks about the Kroger/Sears collaboration. I do know that for many years, Hillman's Pure Foods operated in some Chicagoland-area Sears. In 2017 I made a thread on it , but alas, no replies. One common thread between the garden center and the coffee sho...

There was the partnership Sears did with Kmart in 2018, and Kroger also had stores inside a number of Sears back in the 1930s. Well, those are on two sides of the spectrum! Post-Lampert Sears didn't do much in terms of localized shops. They had an Edwin Watts Golf Shops and of course that mini-Kmar...

The Wikipedia page for Tanglewood Mall is a mess but it has this bit whether true or not: Kroger, an outparcel, finished renovating its interior and exterior; its new front was meant to "better highlight the company's selection of fresh foods."[15] The renovations were also in anticipation...

Didn't see the Baker, Louisiana Kroger on there. Of course, the Baton Rouge stores were on the "Numberless Stores" (I believe there was a total of six in the region before they pulled out). This particular store would be at or around 14500 Plank Rd, Baker, LA 70714 and was later Rainbow Sh...
