Old 1970's Kroger's Superstore.

[wiseguy93]

Here's an old Kroger's Superstore located on Asheville Highway. The store now has some type of Hardware in it and the new Kroger's is located right across the road.

Old Superstore located on Asheville highway looks like maybe now it's a hardware store.

Here is the new Kroger that I had mentioned earlier in one of my recent Kmart posts for Somerset. It is located in an old Winn-Dixie Marketplace on US 27 South, and it replaced the old Kroger on Hwy. 80 next to Kmart.

I love the look of Kroger's greenhouse style store. I'd love to see one of their open locations in person!!

You might want to look in Houston or Dallas in Texas, or parts of Tennessee. Michigan would be nice, where they have Kroger. I am not sure about greenhouses though.

check out 6:48 in this 1983 commercial break: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WF0jXbG0yo

I love greenhouses because they were really the last classic grocery store design.

In the late 60's/early 70's, Kroger built a type of store called Kroger Family Center. They were larger than the typical Kroger of the time, running approximately 70,000 sq. ft. I know these stores existed in at least the following locations:

Mattoon, IL (E. IL 16, now Big Lots)
Lafayette, LA (Downtown, half torn down, the rest now a postal facility)
New Iberia, LA (between E. Main and E. St Peter streets, now a bowling alley and a local grocery)
Morgan City, LA (Brashear Ave.; was last a Canal Villere; abandoned)
Lake Charles, LA (E. Sallier St., Still operates as a Kroger)
Orange, TX (N. 16th St., Still operates as a Kroger)
Longview, TX (W. Marshall Ave., Still operates as a Kroger Signature store)
Marshall, TX (East End Blvd., Still operates as a Kroger Signature store)

These stores are a quite distinctive architecture. They were of tilt wall construction, with a covered walkway at the front made usually of concrete. Some of these stores still have this walkway (Longview lost the walkway with the greenhouse-style remodel). They were usually wider than they were deep. All of them had a full service restaurant, deli, bakery, pharmacy, and the works. Does anyone know of any more of these?

(if I've put this in the wrong category, let me know. It straddles southeast and southwest.)

a Greenhouse-era Kroger in the Eighties,and
became a Food Lion in the nineties. It was heavily
renovated again a few years ago, but still
kind of looks like a 1983 model Kroger store.
