Hello folks,So I was doing some digging trying to find out where the Zayre store was in Olean New York,By looking up a local Supermarket chain called "Rieds Food Barn"

As I was looking at there history I didn't find The Zayre store I was looking for,But I did find a lead on a Former Big N Store on West State Road In Allegany New York That Might have been The first Ames store in the area.

The Big N Plaza Opened in 1971 with Wegmans as a co anchor to Big N,Wegmans Left the Plaza after two years And on November 6, 1973 Rieds Food Barn opened in the space that Wegmans left.

So from following this lead And Knowing that Ames acquired The Big N chain in 1978,I feel like I am piecing together a puzzle from this.
