User Banned: My Explanantion
Just a word of explanation to you all. I felt compelled to ban a user tonight. It's only the second time in the history of the board that it's happened for any reason other than spam, and it didn't make me terribly happy having to do so. I like to think of this board as a friendly place. In fact, th...

Sunny Select and Presidents Choice are not extinct. PC still exists in Canada (it's owned by Loblaw), and I'm betting it's still sold in certain parts of the US as well. Sunny Select is a trademark owned, I believe, buy a joint distribution venture of Save-Mart and Raley's, who still carry these pro...

Re: DIAMOND BAR CA
Oak Tree Lanes near Diamond Bar and Temple was most likely a former supermarket because of its supermarket style exterior architecture. What occupied the bowling alley before? While this particular one may have been a supermarket in the past, my experience is that purpose-built older bowling alleys...

I seem to remember that Piece Goods Shop was based in Winston-Salem. It was, and was initially owned by these two crazy brothers who also owned a TV station here. I wasn't aware of the Hancock relationship, although we do have Hancock stores (and no more Piece Goods) now. Perhaps Hancock bought out...

Speaking of Cost Cutter, that was the generic brand used at Kroger's Market Basket stores in Socal. I have a bottle of Kroger Cost Cutter wine which I think may still be with some stuff I have stored at my parents' house. If I can get over there tomorrow, I'll post a picture. I always thought the i...

I think anything Scotch brand is owned and trademarked by 3M. I never saw a Ralphs generic line but the closest might be Mountain Dairy, which is all Kroger-bannered stores. The closest Albertsons has is their Good Day products. Stores that are supplied by Certified/Unified use Special Value. Super...

Those are cool, but I was actually more interested in ones in use at stores that are no longer Kroger. Sorry. I misread your subject. I can't find any photos in my collection, but I seem to remember seeing a few recycled cubes, maybe in Columbus or elsewhere in central Ohio. I think one may have be...

Thanks. Again, though, this thread is focused on former Colonial/Big Star stores that are still operating as grocery stores of some sort. That's the pivotal difference :) Columbus Ga, the former Colonial/Big star now Laundrymat http://www.edricfloyd.com/dscn1558.jpg I do have other photos from Colum...
