Shop "n" Save

[storehistoryguy]

Discuss. It was a supermarket chain.

[store215]

They are still around and there are many different companies using the Shop n Save name.


The ones in the Philadelphia area and suburbs were operated by Supervalu, which still opperates Shop n Save stores in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. There is also another Shop n Save chain in the New England states, which is not connected to any other chain.(And shouldn't this be in the grocery forum?)

Actually, the Shop n Saves found in Maine (and a couple in our area of NY, plus others I'm sure) are half connected to Hannaford.  Let me explain.

At one time all the stores here were called Shop n Save (they had several other names in other parts of the country - I remember a Sun Foods, it seems like Martin's (Vermont??) and a couple others I don't remember).  It was decided to rename them all Hannaford for easier stock and whatever (plus they ran into other Shop n Save in new markets I believe) - However, some in Maine stayed Shop n Save (I know of the one in Bar Harbor, probably others as well).  Later on, Hannaford started supplying a local store (Millers in West Sand Lake) and later the name was changed to Millers Shop n Save.  

So, it appears that any stores using the Shop n Save name (in New England/NY anyway) are still independently owned, but supplied by Hannaford (rather than IGA, SuperValu etc.).

I liked the shop and save in Plymouth, NH when it was a little guy. I think it was in the late 80's/early 90's they renovated it and made almost warehouse-like when you first walk in and updated the rest of the store as well.
It's Hannaford's now anyway so when I'm in the area I like to do my grocery shopping at Bob's Sure-fine.

where are you from?!!!! This shop and save is in my town, plymouth NH!!! I remember it being remodeled in late 1991 and it got new departments then. it was food town before. The store was half the size it is now before it was remodeled

I'm from mass but my family has timesharing at cold springs in Ashland, NH twice a year.  The shop and save is our first stop after we'd unpack and stock up for the week. it's a pretty view over the landscape in the morning too from the parking lot.
I remember the Ames in that plaza of course, I think the true value went out too.
What is going on with that plaza? I think everything besides Hannafor'ds was closed last tiem I was up there, summer '05
I just love the simplicity of bob's sure fine in ashland though.  I always think abotu how nice it woudl be to liev up theer and be able to do all my food shopping there.

ALL THE SHOP N SAVES IN MAINE WERE BOUGHT OUT BY THE HANNAFORD CHAIN.:no:

[Zayre88]

Shop'n save supermarkets were owned by Hannaford but some were locally owned.  All company Shop'n save markets were renamed Hannaford and many were expanded or renovated during that period.

I also think that stores using the Shop'n Save name (in New England/NY) are still independently owned, but supplied by Hannaford like Bud's Shop'n save in Newport and many other elsewhere.

Then there is the other Shop'n save that are linked to Supervalu and other "Shop & Save" like the former Derby VT store.
