Absurdities in Layout and Décor: Hannaford of Watertown, NY

We take a break from the onslaught of Grand Union turned Tops stores to present something a little more... disturbing.

All photos taken on October 11, 2018.


This was branded under the Shop 'n Save name like all stores outside of Maine that were later re-branded as Hannaford in 1997.


Along the right-hand wall is the Fresh Fruits 'n Vegetables, with signage stylized like the Shop 'n Save nameplate. Was this décor here when this store was Shop 'n Save?!



The back wall of services.


Unlike the typical Hannaford layout, Cold Beer is here instead of a full-on Dairy section. Also Frozen Foods is in the front of the store due to the horizontal aisle layout.


Can't help but plug an Aisle 12. These signs are one of the few things Hannaford.
