I believe these bought out Heartland supermarkets and converted them in the mid to late 80s. For some reason it didn't last and Heartland soon returned. Stop & Shop bought them, changed them to Stop & Shops then closed them. The one near me in Seekonk is now a Kohl's.

The former Purity Supreme in Saugus, MA is now a Shaw's (and before that a Star Market).  I think this closed longer than 10 years ago, more like 15-18 years ago.

I think there is already a thread about this.  They were bought out by Stop & Shop.

OK, They were part of Pathmark for awhile(Supermarket General).  Had stores in Ct in Wetersfield and Newington and Mancherster (the last two were Heartland Warehouse stores, the cheapest stores in the state.)

A moment of silence please for the founder of Purity Supreme, Leo Kahn, who passed away this week at 94.  The Heartland Food Warehouse in South Portland, Maine ended up becoming a Staples, the office supply chain he co-founded.  Maybe in retrospect that was not a coincidence.  Rest in peace, Mr. Kahn...
