![]() ![]() There is a decent chance that the Mount Pocono store was still open in October 1996, since a 10/25/96 newspaper article mentioned the prior evening's theft of the wheel covers of somebody's car in the Mount Pocono A&P parking lot. The Tamaqua store closed on July 31, 1992, and the Lehighton supermarket shut its doors on October 22, 1994. A Februad in The Pottsville Republican listed the following A&P locations: Branch Township, Brodheadsville, Hughesville, Lehighton, Mount Pocono, Tamaqua, Towanda, and Tunkhannock. Regarding A&P, they were still operating stores in Northeastern PA into the 1990s (which never converted to Super Fresh), although I do not know if any of them were that close to the Stroudsburg area. ![]() (Worcester) ones were an acquisition of a small chain years ago, and they have a few still in the Berkshires (though the smaller ones there have closed in the last few years) but nothing in between (Springfield), even when the opportunity came up (A&P locations when they left that area, including some pretty new stores). Not certain how they got into this (PA) area - I know the Mass. I know I've seen this decor in at least a couple stores but not sure off the top of my head which ones, though one may have been the Hudson (Greenport) store that closed and is now ShopRite (with the flag design behind the name on the glass front, even though that is the more square style unlike this one with the point). There is also at least one other small store that hasn't been redone (Cohoes) last I knew. and Madison Ave.) that are both very small (probably dating back to Central Markets days, and in areas where expansion/replacement is not an option). They also managed to renovate two stores in Albany proper (Delaware Ave. They have started to (slowly) convert them to that Market 32 banner, but it seems to have kind of "stalled out" as of late, though we also have at least two (Chatham and Shaker Road in Albany) that are signed as Price Chopper but opened (a replacement for a store they bought from Grand Union, the other an enlarged former Grand Union in that order) just a short time before the new name was announced, and those two have decor very similar to the Market 32 style. ![]() Obviously, we have a large number of Price Chopper stores around here, being just a bit south of Albany (which is only a few miles from Schenectady). ![]()
