FLASHBACK: Shurfine In Name Only


Today on FLASH BACK, we will be taking a look at two former Shurfine-branded supermarkets that still bear the ShurFine name, but no longer belong to the group.


Weedsport Supermarket
Toured on November 5, 2018


This store used to be a Big M until about 2013 when they joined the ShurFine group.


The store retained the Big M carts, manufactured by Unarco Industries in November 1998. Also note the ShurFine-branded products on the shelf to the left. Eventually the store would start selling Best Yet products, a C&S private label common for independent supermarkets in Upstate New York. The dirty VC tile shown here would eventually be replaced by ubiquitous grey wood-like flooring in years since these photographs were taken.

The supermarket itself is 16,000 sq.ft., yet shares the building with Twin Cities Laundry and a Medicine Shoppe which at the time has closed. That space is still empty as of this writing.
