Unreleased: Price Chopper of Lake George, NY









After neglecting this blog for a while, it's time to look back at some older pictures of a tiny, retro Price Chopper.



Initial Shots: Taken June 12, 2017. Has a mural of Lake George and has 2 registers.

Revisited: February 21, 2018. That tarp is covering the majority of the Technibilt carts as these pictures were taken in the winter.


Aisle 5. Has frozen goods, bread, and seasonal items.


 Deli. The only service area in the store.


To wrap it up, Aisle 1. Beverages ranging from soft drinks to milk, to other kinds of snacks.

Rite Aid #02749 - Worse Than RA1?

Want to know what's worse than an old store with RA1? An older one with the original decor! And now adding colour...


Welcome to Rite Aid #02749 of Hancock, New York! The trimline at the top is green instead of blue and brown at the bottom.

WARNING! EXTREME RELICS INSIDE! VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!


Those aisle markers! Almost non-existent everywhere else due to later décor packages.


Back of the store. Typical striping seen in older stores.


Late 1990s Rehrig Mini, to be expected. Unlike Frankfort, there were only 3 I counted on the floor. The one pictured here, one used for cardboard, and another in the queue sandwiched by blue-trimmed (2012) Technibilts.


A closer look at an original relic. Another one at the end, a beverage aisle.


Walgreens couldn't just take down a sign and put theirs up. The sign, titled "PRESCRIPTIONS" is hard décor, so they had to put their sign over the prescriptions sign.


Middle actionway. Uses red striping only.


Card shop. American Greetings Card Shop sign is a later addition. Aisles 6 and 7 have the same merchandise type.


Former 1 Hour Photo center and... Rite express? Another of the broken-off signs that will only get replaced when Walgreens fully integrates.
