Rome Revisited, with extras!

Today's post looks at a rather disappointing look at another Tops that became Grand Union.

Our main course leaves a lot to be desired. After three months, the Rome, NY Grand Union still has temporary signage.

Cart Tax: Again, very few carts ever got re-branded. Carts shown here are a 2006 Technibilt #6240 (ex-P&C) and a 2004 Tote 1234 (unknown, likely Giant Eagle or Hannaford). Other carts not shown, but can seen in Bouncers: The Least Worst of Tops consist of Unarco M100Zs (a large number of carts here consisted of these, and only a few were re-branded), a grey 2011 Technibilt #3541, a black 2014 Technibilt #6240, and a 2004 Unarco M100.

Store still has the 2010-2013 era decor, albeit with Grand Union branding. The flooring is from when P&C operated here from 2006 to 2010.

 

Now, to wash away the bad taste from this visit...


The Save-a-Lot on Black River Boulevard North has gotten some updates. Let us take a look at those updates:

The shopping carts had decals with the current logo on a red background covering up the previous logo. This one is on a 2018 Unarco PC42.

The walls were painted dark grey with white lettering on decals. I do not understand what the purpose of signage such as that "Berry Much"seen to the left.
