Re: Great American

I believe Victory Markets also supplied a few independent franchisees under the Food King name, but the only one I am aware of is the store still operating in Waterville, NY. Can anyone verify this for me? Interesting!! I have heard of Food King before, but not Victory Markets supplying them. I fou...

Re: Great American

Ilion,NY was indeed a former Loblaws, as was Whitesboro,NY and Little Falls,NY. If we add the Chicago Markets(NY) in 1986 and the Genetti's Supermarkets(PA) in 1969, this adds a lot of stores... 0ne on Pultney Street which was a former Loblaws and now a Salvation Army Thrift Store. That brings up so...

Re: Barker's Department Stores

I'm adding Wallingford,CT to the list. But I also have a question about this location. I have links that say there was a store in Wallingford,CT, so my question is this...Before Barkers took over the Grants in Meriden Mall in 1975, was this where Barkers was (became a Zayres??)?? Location would be O...

Re: Barker's Department Stores

Re: Barker's Department Stores

Groves, Tx.?!? Keep in mind I'm not doubting you in any way but what the heck were they doing down there? There must be a story behind that one. I could not believe it myself, as I thought that San Antonio was the only area of Texas they had stores. I was wrong. From all the research I've done, Bar...
