This is a former A&P Store in East Greenbush, NY (corner of Route 4 & Routes 9&20).  After being A&P, it was a Star Market (not connected to the current Star Markets in MA as far as I know - run by a local wholesaler J Trifeletti in Albany) for a while then was taken over by the True Value.

It may have been one of the early stores with a bank inside (as the Star Market in the 80's) and was certainly one of a few (if any other) supermaarket banks that had a drive thru window!

Sorry for the photo - I couldn't get a good shot so I had to cut & paste two pictures together.

Waldbaum's Foodmart's old logos in the '90s were:

-Save More Ways-foodmart
-True Lower Costs
-Picky, Picky Picky!

I saw a lot of foodmart bags from the '90s lately. I should know, my Mom worked at foodmart in Berlin CT for 8 years.

I have an old A&P olive bottle from the 20's or 30's in my antique bottle collection..It belonged to my grandma I believe

A & P recently sold it's canadian stores to Metro

Quebec grocer Metro Inc. has beat Sobeys Inc. in a heated battle for A&P Canada -- and wants an even bigger bite of the Canadian food retail market.

Metro won the contest by agreeing to pay $1.7-billion in cash and stock for the prized A&P Canada.  A&P Canada has 236 stores under the names of A&P, Dominion and Food Basics.  Metro's 579-store operation runs under the Metro, Super C and Loeb names mostly in Quebec, although some are in Ontario.

this Smitty's Cinema in Tilton New Hampshire , on the borderline of Franklin, in the Townline Plaza was an A&P foods that closed in 1994 and was 25,000 square feet.

I remember a number of these opening in the 90's and then were gone just as fast. Bought by the likes of Ro-Jacks and Edwards. Does Edwards still exist. A & P was also around here in the 60's and 70's and yes they too closed. I don't think there are anymore in Southern New England.

I believe edwards does not exist anymore.

about ro-jacks, last summer I saw one vacant in attleboro mass last summer.

a&p went out one by one, and some were sold to STop and shop, including peterboro new hampshire.

The Edward's name is no longer used - Ahold (Stop n Shop/Tops/Giant) bought them and converted them to Stop n Shop - they still own the name, however (for "future use").

As to the A&P - there are still a few in Connecticut (and for some unknown reason the one in Margaretville NY is included in this group) - they sold/closed all the ones in Mass, Vt, NH etc. - see http://www.superfoodmartne.com/our_locations.asp for more info

Wow, that is another odd one because A&P goes by the name of "SAV-A CENTER" in their New Orleans area stores, minus he A&P part.
