Re: Extinct Supermarket Merchandise
Ahhhh...Gioia pasta. The Gioia Pasta Co. (also known as Gioia Macaroni), based in Buffalo, NY, was sold to Borden, Inc. in 1986. Borden kept the brand alive in it's primary market area - Western New York state (including Buffalo and Rochester) for many years after the sale. Here is a link to the sal...

As to the Grand Union in High Land Mills that store was located on Route Seventeen M and was south of Middletown about thirty miles west of Highland Falls. Monroe is South of Highland Mills and Cornwall Ny is about 40 miles North Of West Point. No, the Highland Mills Grand Union was on NY 32 in Hig...

Re: Zip'z
Yes, I remember Zip'z - there was a location on NY Route 59 in Nanuet, (Rockland County) NY somewhere between 1978 and 1980. It was not a stand alone location, though. The store was located in a small strip mall just south of the White Castle restaurant on the Northbound side of Route 59. For the ti...

Re: Kmart in Paramus NJ: Former Penn Fruit/Shop-Rite?
This site was a Grand Way location in the late 1970's - early 1980's. The current Stop & Shop supermarket in the same plaza was a Grand Union supermarket. The front of the store - now encased in stucco - was all glass. The store is much larger than a typical Penn Fruit or Shop Rite location of t...

Re: Grand Union Plaza - Goshen, NY

Yes, it probably is the same restaurant. Lee's Famous Recipe Fried Chicken had locations in Monroe, Chester, and Middletown, NY back in the early 1980's. The location in Monroe was in the Shop Rite Plaza on NY 17M (not a freestanding location, but situated within a strip of stores across from Shop R...

I am amazed at the amount of former Food Fair/Pantry Pride stores still standing in the Baltimore/Washington area. When I had first moved to the area many years ago, I would see many smaller, supermarket sized buildings with the tall pylon attached to the building and the top of the pylon denuded of...

Yes, I remember Lloyd's, in Middletown and Newburgh, NY. Ed Lloyd tried to be everything to everyone, but other larger chains had better resources and could pull it off better. Probably the reason that you received a cookie each time is because most grocery stores in the 1960's and 1970's would give...
