Re: Madison, Wisconsin chain grocery/supermarket history
You’re right on both counts! Kohl’s built what is now a Pick ‘N Save to replace the previous 3710 University Avenue store, which was a classic curved roof Kohl’s. The old Kohl’s building had a few other stores in it alongside Kohl’s. At various times, there was a Stein Drug (which I think later bec...

Re: Madison, Wisconsin chain grocery/supermarket history
Here's the status of Kroger's 1960s and early 1970s Madison store locations today: * 525 S. Midvale Blvd: The store stood more or less intact until being demolished for a mixed-use development about ten years ago. That was one of our neighborhood grocery stores where I grew up. I remember when it w...

Re: Madison, Wisconsin chain grocery/supermarket history
My best guess is that National relocated from the north-side (Dorn Hardware) building to the south side of the highway when it adopted the Del Farm banner in the 1960s. Historic Aerials shows a shopping centre appearing on that side of the intersection between 1957 and 1969, behind where the Univer...

Re: Madison, Wisconsin chain grocery/supermarket history
3650 University Ave., Shorewood Hills - Converted to Copps; still operating in 2020 as Pick N' Save. The spreadsheet only lists this one as a Copps/PNS, but it appears to have been built as a Kohl's (it likely replaced the store at 3710 University.) You’re right on both counts! Kohl’s built what is...

By 1972 ( per the table ) this ha...
