What did these Food Fairs look like? Help please!

I would think the Food Fairs next to J.M. Fields stores looked something like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ei2Ik5quiI0/R ... +1960a.JPG
That design is from I believe 1957, but may have been used into the 1960s.
Unless it was this (actually a later design, I think): http://www.flickr.com/photos/62355920@N00/3492419263/
But I know Food Fair did not acquire J.M. Fields until 1961. That was the same year Stop & Shop acquired Bradlees. But I still am not sure when most Food Fair/J.M. Fields stores were built. I read a recent news article about the former J.M. Fields in Ventnor, NJ. It said the shopping center was built in the 1950s, but perhaps they meant 1961. But this says circa 1977 (late!), and these two stores had the same design: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62355920@N00/3560992639/
Perhaps the Food Fair was built first, and J.M. Fields was added later?
