Newer store, older look

Price Chopper #164

Opened: 1999
Location: 6025 New York Route 5, Palatine Bridge, NY
Date Photographed: June 18, 2024

I decided to return to this rural Price Chopper as it resembles the Spencer, MA location, as documented by The Market Report. Definitely check that one out and compare it to this store!

Also of note are the full drop ceilings and pink floor tile, both are odd features for a store of 1999. The drop ceiling may be due to the store's smaller size.

One obvious difference you will notice here is the presence of a pharmacy, something the Spencer store does not.

Produce takes up the entirety of what would be the "grand aisle". Seafood is right up ahead.

Fresh Bakery, which for some reason uses orange letters that almost blend into the yellow wall they are on.

Frozen foods, which bears some unique tile striping that was once very common in older stores.

Deli, which just happens to be next to the registers and in the front right corner as well.

Alcoholic beverages and dairy line the right hand wall.

Bread aisle. Instead of condiments and canned vegetables lining the other side of the aisle, cereal does.

Front end, which has the self-checkouts labeled as 1/2, 3/4 as opposed to 7 and 8. The Guest Services area is on the wall between each entrance/exit.

The right side of the vestibule, which has a strange door leading in and out of the checkout area. If anything, it should have been an exit only. So that concludes our comparison store.
