Uhh... I'm guessing you meant Grand Union (not hard to mislabel after typing Price Chopper so many times in the other post).  By the way, this store just recently was opened as a Tractor Supply Company store, after having been empty since the bankruptcy a few years back.

I had just returned from a trip from Binghampton, on the way back off 17 in Hancock there is a small GU still in operation in this little town.  Also in Goshen, there is an old GU turned CVS off 17 visible from the highway, the outside has not changed at all, except the logos obviously.

Here's a former Grand Union that closed in 2000 (West Babylon, NY), picture all of the red and blue a forest green, and gray and red tile on the building and that was Grand Union.  This store didn't get sold when the chain was liquidating due to the fact that all of the competitiors have stores nearby.  In late 2001, Foodtown opened, and closed in October of 2004, Currently ShopRite.  Ironically, GU bought the location from ShopRite in the early 90's, go figure.

This store was one of the 12 stores that were not sold to another chain or C&S, it held a Going Out of Business Sale starting in late November 99 and closed in January 2000.  My brother worked there until the end.

how dose a super market do GOB sales

[fa152]

First, they completely close down the Pharmacy prior to the GOB sale, first to go Perishables 20-30-50-75% off,
GRocery, HBA 20-25-30-40-50-75% off, whatever isn't sold by a certain date deadline is boxed up and I think auctioned in a warehouse or something like that.

That picture actually reminds me of an old Weis maybe from the late 70's. I don't know if you have or have had Weis around your area.

There's one in Storrs, CT. One was opened in Rocky Hill CT but closed after a few months. It used to be Super Foodmart and now is becoming a Stop & Shop.

     The Super FoodMart in Market Square, Newington, is now a Stop & Shop? Market Square was a Grand Union back in the 1960s.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE INTERIM TEMPORARY SALVATION ARMY STORES?

ITS LIKE THEY REOPEN YOUR FAVORITE STORE THEN AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THEY CLOSE IT DOWN:mad::mad::mad::mad:


HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME YET BUT COULD IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL

     The salvation Army store in East Hartford is in an old Finast (then Top Notch Foods) store. The store was a Three D (a bed and Bath Store) after Top Notch closed. Top Notch was a small chain of Supermarkets (8 locations - 2 in East Hartford, 2 in Manchester, Middletown, Glastonbury, South Glastonbury and Durham) that was  a good store.

[AmesNewington]

No, No, Jim. I'm talking about Rocky Hill CT, on Town Line Road. It was a Super Foodmart, then a Grand Union for a few months, and now Super Stop and Shop.

I'm surprised the Newington Foodmart is still open. It needs a remodel badly.
