Yep - the parent company is Penn Traffic (http://www.penntraffic.com) and they list three sites - P&C, Quality and Bi-Lo and Riverside (site is http://www.bilofoods.com) - not connected to the Bi-Lo's in the south.
Growing up the youngest of four children in a small town in Steuben County New York I have many fond memories of shopping at the local P&C grocery store with my mother. The walls above the produce, bakery, and frozen food sections all had artful closeups of common products.. frozen foods, eggs, milk..etc.
Today my store (the Riverside, NY location) is closed and it's sister store (a new concept store, P&C Fresh Market) in nearby Gang Mills also lays closed just months after opening.
The KMart nextdoor to Fresh Market is closed too.. and across the road, a Walmart Supercenter.:flaming:
Producers & Consumers (http://www.pandcfoods.com/)
The first is the (former) store in Cobleskill - on Route 7 across from SUNY Cobleskill - it closed a couple years back (their last round of closings) and has now been reopened as a Sears Tools-Electronics-Lawn & Garden.
The second is a (still open) store in Cooperstown on Route 28 south fo the village. It appears to be a new(er) store - I'm guessing they had one closer to (or in) the village at one time. This is now the closest P&C to the Albany area.
The last is the former Oneonta store - it's on Route 7/23, shortly after they turn rright off of Main Street. This one closed (I think) in the last round also, and has been subdivided for smaller stores.

Wow, they did quite a number on the Oneonta P&C. The last I saw it, they were in the process of remodeling it.
As far as the Cooperstown one, that was built around the early to mid '90s. The Pizza Hut was the first to go in there, as they wanted a restaurant in the Village. They tried their hardest to get a restaurant in the village, but village officials denied it. They settled for the "Country." This was P&C's only venture into Cooperstown. At one point, Cooperstown actually had two Great American's in the village 2 miles away from each other. They had the one that you photographed today, and there was one right next to the Firehouse towards Main St. The one next to the Firehouse was the original one. I've been told that the one that is currently a Great American was once a Bowling Alley.

Does anyone have photos of a P&C Fresh Market? This was apparently a new store concept in development within the last decade. There was one planned and built in Gang Mills, NY (near Super Kmart that closed) but I hear that no sooner did they have their Grand Opening than a Walmart SuperCenter opened across the street.. and the rest is history.

From SupermarketNews.com
Penn Traffic to Close 4 Stores, Sell 1
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (December 15, 2006) -- Penn Traffic here said it would close two P&C Foods supermarkets and two stand-alone Quality Pharmacy stores by the end of the month. The company also reached an agreement to sell one Quality Markets supermarket location to an independent distribution customer. The P&C stores set for closure are located in Fairmount, N.Y., and Cicero, N.Y., and the pharmacies are located in Westfield, Pa., and Cambridge Springs, Pa., a Penn Traffic spokesman told SN. The Quality Market store to be sold to an independent distribution customer is located in Corry, Pa. -- Jon Springer .
Here is the P&C in Ogdensburg, NY. This store was built in 1990. This pic was taken 2 or 3 years ago and is a little out of focus because it was taken with my older, crappier digital camera. Sorry about that. There's not much difference between then and now on the outside -- just a new paint job with a lighter color. The dark brown on both the sign and bricks was replaced last year with a cream color. I will try and take a recent pic soon and post it so you can see the difference.
Here is the P&C in the Potsdam Plaza on Market Street (Route 56). The store is a former JCPenney, which moved to the St. Lawrence Centre mall in Massena back in 1990 (hence the JCPenney Catalog Center on the left). The catalog center has since closed.
This is the P&C store in the Harte Haven Shopping Center in Massena, NY. This store opened in about 1993 in the former Jamesway store. Here is how it looks during the day...
...and at night.
Here is a pic of the second old P&C in Massena, NY. I found this pic on the website of the former Massena Building Supply when they were remodeling the store. This store was built in the late 1980's or early 1990's to replace the original P&C across the street. That store later became a Central Tractor store then torn down for a Home Depot. This pic shows the newer store after P&C moved out to its third location in the Harte Haven Shopping Center in 1993. This building is now the Triple A Building Center (successor to the Massena Building Supply). The vacant store at the left was a Kinney Drugs and is now a Dollar General.
And here is what that store building looks like today:
And the P&C in Gouverneur NY, located on East Main Street:
Here is the P&C store in the Stateway Plaza on Arsenal Street in Watertown, NY.

Here is the current P&C store in Watertown (NY)'s Seaway Plaza on Route 11. Opened in 1988, this space was originally an Acme Markets, later Super Duper. The store was renovated inside and out last year and is now one of the chain's "Fresh Markets."

Here is the original P&C at the Seaway Plaza in Watertown NY. In 1988, P&C moved from this store down to the opposite end of the plaza where it is now and this store became a bowling alley, which of course, is slated to close at the end of the month.

And the P&C in Gouverneur NY, located on East Main Street:
That looks like our CVS..s...down here..
The Watertown NY P&C's are both dumps inside. If you love dated stores, then you'll love it. If you love high prices, then shop here. I don't shop at P&C often, because they are expensive. However, the one on Arsenal Street was slightly updated on the exterior a while back. Seaway plaza itself is dump, and the one on Arsenal Street is in a plaza that is struggling as well.
Watertown is way over plaza'd, and there are a lot of store fronts for rent.
This P&C is the new one.. I remember the old one next door. It's now Kinney Drugs. Before It was Carl's Drugs and before that It was the original P&C store. I remember the Party Club Soda they used to sell

Here is the Grand Opening ad from that old P&C. It appeared in the Gouverneur Tribune-Press on June 21, 1961.

You're welcome! :D You can find quite a lot of old pics and articles at news.nnyln.org. It has a lot of the old newspapers from the North Country from various years, including Gouverneur. Just click on the link for the newspaper you want to look at, then type what you are looking for into the search engine for that particular newspaper.
I see in the news recently where P & C is closing 2 of it's New York Stores and 3 of it's BiLo stores in PA. They closed their Penny Curtis Bakery recently too. Although I hate to sound pessimistic but I think that P&C's time has come.. I has not ben my favorite store but convenient for odds and ends.
I see PC Wherehouse is is now being supplyed by C&S
C&S is now supplying the PC wherehouse
It was announced today that P&C is closing its store in the Stateway Plaza on Arsenal Street in Watertown, NY. This store has been open since 1970 and will close on February 7. There are seven other stores in New York State closing. They are, according to a Penn Traffic news release:
- 4141 S. Salina Street (Valley Plaza) Syracuse, NY
- 2078 State Rt. 481 Fulton, NY
- 315 Genesee Street Auburn, NY
- 1222 Arsenal Street Watertown, NY
- 1503 Canandaigua Road Macedon, NY
- 1184 Prim Road Colchester, VT
- 6710 Route 31 East Newark, NY
Quality Markets
- 166 East Fourth Street Dunkirk, NY
Here is a pic I took of the Watertown store that will be closing next month.

I have heard from a very reliable source that all the P&C Stores Located in St Lawrence County as well as the one in Watertown, NY were bought out by Price Chopper. The Employees will be laid off and the stores will be closed for 30 to 45 days while renovations and restocking take place. The employees will need to reapply for their jobs as Price Chopper is a non union store. Also out of the 9 that were purchased 2 to three will be closed. Potsdam, NY, Ogdensburg, NY and Watertown NY. Next week is a meeting of all employees and they will be informed then about the buy out.
P&C Foods already closed the Watertown store last january. Their is a Price Chopper located across the road but that price chopper is in better shape. Price Chopper just open their new store in oswego ny last week in the former P&C that closed last december.
Actually there were 2 in Watertown.. There is one located in the Seaway Plaza on Route 11 heading north out of the city. The second one in that location will close permanently
the one in seaway plaza closed last january idk where the 2nd on is at
If the P&C stores in the North Country were to close, I can understand Ogdensburg and Watertown because they already have a Price Chopper in both cities. They might keep the Watertown one open (Seaway Plaza) because there are no supermarkets in that neighborhood right now. The Stateway Plaza (Watertown) P&C is already closed. This would leave Massena, Canton and Gouverneur. I think Potsdam would also stay open because the only other supermarkets in town are Save-A-Lot and Big M. They are both smaller. There is also a super Wal-Mart in Potsdam but it is about 2-3 miles out of town.

The corner entrance of the P&C Food Store.
I used to go there all the time as a kid when it was Grand Union in the 90's. Small store. Basketball court behind it had one hoop that was like 8 feet high and one that must have been 12...

I wouldn't recommend eating the cheese puffs at the service desk! :barf:
The label scar of P&C.
P&C just filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and are expected to sell off all of their assets and most of their 79 stores in four states by early next year. The company said that second-quarter losses of $7 million, missed loan payments, and slower shipments from suppliers forced them to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.

This pic of the produce department of the old Plattsburgh P&C reminds me of the old P&C in Massena (NY). It is now a building supply store, but if you walk way over to the left side of the store way in the back, there is a storage and office area. If you look way up to the top of the stairs, you can see this same color scheme on the walls and even the lettering from the department that was there when it was a P&C. The wall was left untouched by the new store! Plus, I don't know if they are still on there, but the building supply store had photos of the store's renovation on their website when they converted it from the old P&C store.
Just heard on the news that Tops Family Markets will be buying P&C for $85 million. They plan on keeping open most of the P&C stores and they will try and keep most of the 6,000 people employed by P&C. I guess Price Chopper wanted to buy 22 of the 46 P&C stores for a reported $54 million, but apparently the deal fell through, so I guess Price Chopper is now objecting to the proposed sale to Tops Markets. But for right now, Penn Traffic has accepted Tops Market's offer.

But Tops (and Bi-Lo) are no longer owned by Ahold?
Has anyone been out getting pictures of P&C before they close or are converted to it's new buyer?
I really want to, but I'm close to needing the costly timing belt done on my car + the weather has been pretty unpredictable.

Nope. These days Ahold only owns - Stop & Shop, Giant of Landover, Giant of Carlisle, and Martins a division of Giant of Carlisle.

The now former P&C building of White River Junction, VT. On my visit they only had 2 days remaining and most of the store was empty and blocked off so you could not walk through to get pictures past the checkout area.
When I asked if I could get a few photo's of the department signs from the former Grand Union store, I was told no one was around to authorize that and to stop back later in the afternoon. Needless to say I wasn't hanging around for hours to wait and see if it would be okay to walk through and snap some pictures!!

Yes it was from the 70's. Originally there were large white circular globe lights that hung from the raised canopy area near the entrance.
The 39,000 square-foot former P&C store in Ogdensburg, NY is in the process of being splilt down the middle. One half is becoming a Save-A-Lot with a completely new entrance and that is supposed to open by Labor Day. The other half (with the original P&C entrance) is rumored to be a Big Lots (but there's no confirmation of that yet.) I will keep you posted and try to get some pics of the construction.
