This was the last red grand union street sign in the company. I have yet to visit this store since it has become a Hannaford at the end of 2009.

Great job Caldor1999, those are some great pictures I hadn't seen of the flagship location.
I liked the clean, fresh and good canopy with the red&white checkout counters and floor tile. Also off in the distance along the ceiling you can see the red squares one with the aisle # the other with "what's in the aisle". The empty space between the two would have been the white graphic panels that had Grand Union slogans or what would now be "old school" advertisements. Sadly it looks like this location had long since lost it's suspended lighting hanging aisle marker.... Just remnants of the red squares remain hanging.

Take a look at checkout #4, not only would that not be considered handicap accessible, but how would you push your cart through to the end to get your bagged groceries?!!

Very exciting to see all the advertisements hanging from the red&white aisle marker. Interesting uniforms black&white with a bow-tie and red jackets!!
This photo is kind of sad in away, looking back 15 years to see the great Grand Union and whats left of this chain today. :(
