I didnt have a camera with me (and i still dont know how to post pics on message boards anyway) but the piggly wiggly in Brookhaven MS has a ton of carts from a store called "saverite". The carts just came in recently, beforehand they were using regular PW carts. Also, i saw a kroger cart outside a best buy in Jackson.

Winn-Dixie had a store concept called Save Rite Grocery Warehouse.

I saw a bunch of Hills and Wal-Mart "Discount City" carts at an Ollie's outside of Baltimore, Maryland.  How long has it been since Wal-Mart has been "Discount City"? :roll:

I think Wal-Mart still operated some "Discount City" stores in 1984, but it was "Discount City" in the beginning.

My local Wal-Mart (now temporarily closed for a "mini-Supercenter" remodel) opened in 1997 with the "Discount City" carts.

all the "re-models" of wal-marts suck. Wood fake floors and all.

The new Ocean State job lot here in Valatie has quite a few plain gray carts (with red boxes where the name should be) and (not suprisingly) some larger green former Grand Union carts (I say not suprisingly as this store was a Grand Union until closing a year-two ago when Hannaford opened up the street).

They did manage to change the handle part of the green carts, which had the GU name and now has their name (actually inscribed, not just stuck on or over, so it appears they replaced that whole piece of plastic).

The funny thing is, this 1997-era store was FULLY remodeled about 2 years ago with all the hardwood floors, dark paint, new gray carts, a Subway, etc. It looked better than it did before, but the lighting was very dim. The store closed again in May to become a Supercenter, but the last time I past it, nothing has been done. (The local Kmart is doing excellent business because the next nearest Walmart is many miles away)
