It is not often a Retail Regents post is written early in the morning, but here is another one from the archives! Inspired by The Market Report blog, I have decided to change up the formatting for this next post.
This store appears on Groceteria as being a Grand Union, which is not very surprising given other Grand Union stores in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley were converted to Hannaford-franchised Shop 'n Save stores. This store was owned by Kevin Smith and operated under the name Nichols Shop 'n Save. The store and shopping center were sold in 2007 to Hannaford, allowing for an odd expansion similar to that of the ShopRite of Mansfield, New Jersey.
Entering inside, we are greeting with a semi-trapezoidal grand aisle, completely separated from the rest of the store, except the rear corridor. This section was once home to smaller tenants. Like newer Hannaford stores, produce is in the front with Bakery and Deli in the back.
Deli shown in the back (to the right in this picture), with The Butcher Shop further down (seafood is in between the two departments).
Left corner of the store, which houses frozen foods.
Despite its size, this store has a Pharmacy department, in the front of the store.
