For those who live in an area with a recently-converted Tops to Grand Union, does your store have a set of green/grey all-plastic Bemis shopping carts? Cortland does, despite Tops ordering a (full?) set of 2019 Unarco M90ZXs shortly before the conversion to Grand Union. Oh, and these are the majority of the store's fleet.

Although, at least they are showing some interest in the stores this time around.

Seems that at least some of those Tops still had the old red Grand Union carts quite some time after they took over (again, in some cases) a decade ago.

The last two stores I know of that kept those are Northville and Coxsackie, which replaced them with black Instores, which arguably aged worse in just six years than these late 1990s Technibilt carts in 20 years. Northville has a red one from 1998 being used by the deli department and a green one from 1999 being used for the bottle returns. Coxsackie has two of the same red ones, also from 1998 being used for the bottle returns.
