Re: Food Lion divisions
I am also particularly interested in Food Lion's new upscale and budget tiers, the latter of which appears to little online information describing them. As I understand it, the lower divisions of Bottom Dollar and in SC, Reid's, seems to simply convert existing FL stores in rural or low-income urban...

Re: Mayfair Market in Century City
Since the store or at least the building is still in place, would it be reasonable to assume that elements of the original interior architecture still remains intact, or has it been completely modified to suit changing tastes of decor over the decades?

Belk department stores
I was wondering on how the hyphenated name system of Belk in past eras worked. Were the groups "Belk-XXXX" co-owners of Belk stores in a particular geographic region, being as local retailers or were they like investment groups? I know that Belk eventually abolished the system by 1998, but...

Re: WinnDixie Interior Signs
Are these signs and interior decor of the nineties' coral pink, white and light green scheme or of an earlier era? If they are newer, I would be interested in seeing them. Thanks!
