Cooperstown Revisited

In this post, we return to a Tops that became Grand Union outside the city limits of Cooperstown. Buckle up everyone!

By the time this store was photographed (on the 14th of June, 2022), the store got its permanent sign.

Now, I suppose we will start with the cart tax before we continue with the rest of the photoset shall we?

These dark green carts are the only ones that got re-badged with the Grand Union name. This being an ex-P&C Technibilt.

Much like the black Instore at the top, the 20 year old ex-P&C Unarcos have not been re-branded. Like when it was Tops, some bear Tops branding on the handles while some still have a P&C FOODS wordmark on the handle. This is one was re-branded as Tops, and is dated 4-00 as opposed to almost every other Unarco here.

Vestibule with the cart bay behind the right-hand entrance.

Garden Fresh Produce sign. Like most of the decor, it is more likely a rare P&C remnant not seen in other stores.

Registers, with re-badged Penn Traffic-era checkstands.

Deli and Bakery run along the left corner of the store.

Lunch meats and seafood run along the back wall of the store. The baseball team names are still present.

Frozen foods, which runs from front to back along the right-hand side of the store. Also noticeable are the old-style coffin coolers, with portable coolers amusingly displayed on top of them.

Re-badged Penn Traffic-era aisle signage.

Grand Union covered up the "Your neighborhood store with MORE." slogan from Tops. It appears this may have been a pharmacy when it was P&C.
