[Caldor99]

Here's a pic i posted just before the old website crashed

[Caldor99]

sorry but every time i try to down size the pucture it messes up the picture but im relley sorry

[Caldor99]

zayre88 were is that Grand Union?

[Zayre88]

I don't know where it is but it's probably in Vermont but i'm note sure at all...

One trick i use to downsize pictures is to use the zoom in whatever program i'm using.  That way, i can get to the desired size with less "damage" to the picture than if i try manually.  

I use "Print Screen" and i paste the image and then i select what i need and save it.

There's one in Storrs, CT. One was opened in Rocky Hill CT but closed after a few months. It used to be Super Foodmart and now is becoming a Stop & Shop.

This Albany, New York location was a Salvation Army up until last winter. It was a cool store.

It was a weird thing in Rocky Hill CT. GU opened in Storrs first, and then in Rocky Hill in Spring/Summer 2003. We started getting their flyers. The RH Grand Union was an A&P Super Foodmart, newly remodeled, and closed. They opened GU up, and supposedly left the store as-is. They closed a little while later. It remained empty until they tore it down in Spring 2004. Now they are building a Super Stop & Shop and they re-vamped the Goodwill store next to it.

You should apply to Hannaford instead. They treat their employees right, and they are in good shape financially. Been with the company for 5 years, and don't see myself leaving anytime soon.

Zayre, where is that Hannaford in the photo located?? As far as the Grand Union renovations, I'm not sure how good or bad they are, as I have never seen one of those projects. I know the stores are much smaller than I am used to, mine is 110,000 Sq. ft, with the average store, around 65K square foot, and now especially with the conversion projects, I think they are going smaller.

[Zayre88]

The Hannaford (former Grand Union) is in Milton VT.

I got the picture from this website http://www.vermontrealestate.com/listings-pomerleau.shtml

They own several properties, and most are Grand Union or former Grand Union supermarkets.  

I especially like this pic where you see two buildings with the same style but one is Shaw's and the other Hannaford !!:roll::dizzy:

Ohhh, I see why now. I don't have any control over where they decide to locate their stores. Guess you'd have to talk to Corporate on that one. But...if you're ever interested in getting into Retail, particularly Grocery, I recommend them.

[Caldor1999]

the Grand Uion IN Carmel was a key food market place fore 3 weeks before it closed they dident even have time to rentvated the whole store
