Re: Edwards/Finast/Super Finast

I remember Edwards in Poughkeepsie, NY before it was turned into a Stop and Shop around 2000. Stop and Shop eventually tore down the old Caldor and built a Super Stop and Shop. Was this Edwards most northern store in New York?

Re: Great American Stores Upstate NY

As to the demise of Victory Markets, Inc, of Norwich, NY... In about 1989 or 1990, Victory Markets purchased 7-8 stores in the Albany area from another chain. They weren't well marketed and not well received. This was I believe during the era of ownership by an Australian holding company, whose nam...

Re: Great American Stores Upstate NY

I don't remember the Jeffersonville, NY store, but there was a Great American in Port Jervis, NY, which closed in early/mid 1999. As the original poster of this thread noted, there is very little information about Great American stores and their history.

Re: Grand Union

I apologize for my last reply. I meant to say that GU markets currently has a store in Massachesetts. I must have skipped over the 6th post of this topic, as Grand Union did not have stores in MA. I also learned today they had no RI stores. My mistake....

Re: Grand Union

I just came across some paperwork of Grand Union stores operating as of 8-2-2000 in the states of NY, CT, NJ, VT and NH (their Northern Division). There was nothing for MA and RI. I know Grand Union had stores in Massachusetts, but did they have any in Rhode Island? If anyone wants store info, I'll ...

Re: Waldbaum's in upstate New York

GU Family Markets does not have any stores on Long Island/NYC anymore. I believe they exited that area in 2001. Their closest store is now Millerton, NY, located in Dutchess County.

Waldbaum's in upstate New York

I am curious as to how far north Waldbaum's reached in New York state! I remember Kingston (now partly a Staples) and Wappinger Falls (rebuilt as Hannaford). I am also aware that Waldbaums purchased Foodmart in Massachusetts, but I believe this did have any bearing on New York operations. I looked o...
