This looks like it was possibly a 1950s or 1960s era Kroger expanded into the 1970s prototype, as you can still see the cube sign out front. I remember it being Mr. B's Foodland well into the 1990s. (Kroger has since opened further up the road in a store that was originally Bay City-based Giantway, and more recently Kessel Foods.) This former Kroger/Mr. B's sat empty for a very long time, and in the past five or six years, it was split between a Salvation Army thrift shop and a (very large) Family Dollar, the latter of which took the corner entrance. As you can see, the thrift shop moved into the former Family Dollar, and the old thrift shop was abandoned. (The old thrift shop cut a new entry under the existing awning.) In what era did Kroger use rounded roofs?
