Yeah I'd like to know when they announced this for Meriden too especaially since there's a Lowe's on Route 5 in Wallingford.

Yeah, here are some pictures I took a while ago of the former Ames in Vernon.  It did become a Price Chopper, TJ Maxx was already there.

Meriden has been confirmed; it will become Lowe's. Vernon has also been corrected. I'll be making further edits to the original post from now on. Thanks, guys!
