- As we all know… or in case you didn't know…a grocery store is a store that primarily sells food products that may be fresh or packaged. Larger format stores are referred to as supermarkets and hypermarkets usually stock significant amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household items.
Today’s video, we’ve decided to continue our “Top 10” list to the fascinating world of Forgotten Grocery Store Chains Part 2.

Frame: 13:09 - I worked at Farmer Jack for 5 years while in High School and College. Became a High School Shop Teacher for 36 years. Store Number 144 at Telegraph & Schoolcraft, Redford , Michigan. This was a fun and great job to make money. Well done video. • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
❤️ farmder jack potatoe salid,, barbeque chicken,, rib , fried chicken.
Metro detroit had a bunch of farmer jack, grocery store,, A&P grocery store,,
I grew up in Redford twp, at Plymouth and Beech Daly area, in the 60s and 70s 🙂
@@raymondpetersen6155 Cool - Hi Ray: I graduated from Thurston High School in "70" Lived at Schoolcraft and Telegraph area. Still live in southeast Michigan. 🚂
Waldbaums and King Kullen, both Long Island chains
I remember Margaret Ann in Miami and then Kwik Chek took that over. After Kwik Chek it turned into Winn Dixie.
Worked at Grand Union on Long Island 1995-2000; terrible job but some of the best people I’ve ever met
That's interesting! Which location?
@@undergroundretail Deer Park, Suffolk County
I remember Grand Union. I'm originally from Massapequa.
Grand Union is back in business with 10 stores in New York and 1 in Vermont and one named Piggly Wiggly in New York
@@geriking516 Grand Union is back in business in New York and Vermont
I truly miss Big Bear im glad that you guys talked about it. We always shopped there when I was a kid
No Problem! Which one did you shop at?
German Village's Big Bear in Columbus.
Oh yeah I sure remember Bohacks ,Packers and Daitch Shopwell and my mom used to collecting the King Korn stamps. A&P had Plaid Stamps. The W in Weingartens looks like the W from Walgreens and the Washington Nationals baseball team. Grand Union is also gone. I was working at C&S when they acquired GU. C&S was also the main distributor for Tops. The PathMark store where i used to live in Brooklyn NY is now a Stop & Shop.. Thanks for sending me this link.
They mentioned my hometown Keansburg, New Jersey; yeah!!!!!! Thank you Grand Union supermarket.
YEAAAAHHHHH 😁😁📝
Grand Union is back in business in New York and 1 store in Vermont
@@henrysmith9763yeah, there's a small one in Saranac Lake, New York, I go there occasionally.
Great recap. I worked with Marsh Supermarkets as an employee and vendor/manufacturer for over 29 years. It was a sad day when they finally gave up and let go of everything. It was time as many of the stores were struggling to survive.
I remember Marsh from Crawfordsville Road in Speedway IN.
Pathmark. My favorite store 30+ years ago when I lived in New York. I was really sad when they closed.
Which location did you shop at?
@@undergroundretail my mom lived in Seaford, NY- so the one on Washington Ave & Merrick road. Every time my mom needed something from the store- that's where I would go! It's now a Stop & Shop. I went to that store back in 2021- and its not like Pathmark was. That store Stop & Shop is dumpy. Many years ago, in North Massapequa on Hicksville Rd., there was a Hills supermarket, and before Pathmark was opened, we went there to shop. Fond memories!
Cherry Hill, New zjersey location
I worked at Pathmark in Bay Shore,NY for 25 years. It was a good at first then the first chapter 11 happened and that's when things started changing right before my very eyes. When it was bought by A&P it really began the death knell of Pathmark and Waldbaums. I still remember working the very last day it was opened.
Last I saw it was turned into Hobby Lobby.
LOVED Pathmark! That's where I shopped in South Jersey, & now shop in Publix in South Florida!
My new favorite channel! To this day I still miss Farmer Jack. A bit before the store closed, they’d show these commercials with a Farmer Jack truck and an A&P truck driving side by side. The gist was that hey everything will be okay! Next thing you knew, they were closed. It was a bummer given that it was I believe the only major grocery store chain in Detroit, but we’ll still have the memories of it always being Bonus Savings time.
We’re excited you enjoy us!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁 and wow, it was a bummer.
❤️ farmer jack potaties salid, ,,barbeque chicken
Kroger grocery stores look more attractive looking inside;; in metro detroit:;farmer Jack had better barbecue chicken & potatoes salid;; Kroger sell farmer Jack potatoes salid now
I knew that Kmart’s brand was American Fare, but I didn’t realize it was a store!
Yupp! Just a failed concept they probably want to forget about.
Sears already in trouble bought Kmarts and declared bankruptcy.
I remember,when Chatham Complete Food Centers converted some of the Chatham Stores to Pak n Sav Warehouse Stores. Then,I also remember when Chatham experimented with a store named Chatham Plus to compete with Meijer Superstores. After,when Chatham Plus closed permanently. The,former Chatham Plus is a Lowe's Home Improvement Store and is still open to this very day. The location of the old Chatham Plus/Lowe's Home Improvement Store is located on Van Dyke between Chicago Road and Old 13 Mile Road in Warren,Michigan. And,I also have my old Farmer Jack Bonus Savings Card to this very day.
❤️ chatham grocery, great scott grocery
I rem Pathmark in nyc
Kessel was a big thing in Mid-Michigan that got bought out by Save-A-Lot. They got Save-A-Lot everywhere.
I dead ass miss farmer Jack.
Great video! 👍 Love the histories of old grocery chains.
Thank You 🔥🔥🔥
I wonder what happened to Suttle’s Markets, Hughes’ Markets, and Victory Foods. I didn’t see them in either video but I imagine that there have been so many grocery retailers come and go that some were too small to even mention.
IBM 305 RAMAC is a disk drive
Jackson is in Mississippi not Missouri, the newspapers show I-55 mentioned, which is not in Missouri
Thanks for catching that.
I grew up in Minnesota, and I can think of 3 chains that no longer exist. Red Owl Foods, Supervalu Foods, and Rainbow Foods. I believe Supervalu is still a distributor (Mostly to Cub Foods) bit I have not seen a Supervalu store in years. They used to be everywhere here!
I passed the Grand Union in Warrensburg, NY. Didn't stop inside, but it seemed to be doing well.
Interesting!!! That’s good business is well. Are there any other nearby competing grocery stores?
Can you do a top ten forgotten restaurants? There's some I can remember but are no longer around like Chi-Chi's.
That’s a great suggestion! I should do one of those.
Bill knapp restaurant
There is lots closed.
Beefsteak Charlies goodys burgers donut master and the groundhouse comes to mind.
As someone who grew up in New Jersey, two defunct grocery chains come to mind - Finast and Foodtown.
Great Suggestions!!
grand union radio * ding * 🤘
The very first product with a barcode was scanned at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, in 1974--it was a pack of gum. I learned that odd fact only yesterday when I idly wondered when barcodes became a thing and decided to look it up. What a weird coincidence! I'd never heard of the Marsh chain before.
That's a cool fact! I would have never known.
I rem waldbaums I'm Brooklyn ny
I worked for Waldbaums here in New Jersey
There was a Waldbaums in North Massapequa, NY- I went to get boxes when I moved back in '94. January, 1995 I heard the roof on that store collapsed due to the weight of the snow that collected on it.
I remember going with my grandmother to Waldbaums in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn in the 70s.
Bohack Cha Cha cha.
I remember Bohack's cheese cake. What a shame that it's no longer around!
Thanks for the heads up on Part II.

Thank You for commenting and tuning in 😃
Lucky Market, Boy's Market are two from my area.
If they are South Florida markets, loved them😢!
I remember the boys market in Azusa CA and gemco in glendora California!!!!!
Are these still around?
I don’t remember any of these grocery stores but it’s crazy how two of these returned especially the last one on your list. I have a suggestion for a video idea Top 10 Sports Stores. I think I will like this video because I remember going to Sports Authority a long time ago, and a sports store litany closed not even less than a month ago it was called Olympia Sports and it closed on September 30th 2022. I hope that’s a good suggestion video , also for news there considering that BrandX will bring back the Stage Stores along with the Bon-Ton stores too.
Thanks for Watching 😃. Those are great Suggestions and it's coincidental that I have scripts already written out for both Bon Ton and Sports Stores. I will work on releasing them towards the end of year and early Next Year.
Ok that’s great can’t wait till then, but for now keep being awesome and upload more videos. 😃👍
Bill knapp restaurant
A&P never should have bought Pathmark,it was toxic to A&P
A&P bought out farmer jacks too
@@loydkline4686 and other chains too.. I think looking at this, seems that some of these super market chains get greedy and even though they are making money they try to buy out the competition at a cost that ends up hurting them more than actually helping them. You also realize that although we as the customer may miss some of those super markets, in truth if there is no competition a monopoly is not good for us so competition is good otherwise there is no incentive to lower prices for us.. but it is unfortunate for the employees and some of those products that are unique to those supermarkets that is also a negative which are no longer available.
@Jes Alf my ex brother in law work at A&P grocery store; he got paid very nice 💰 money; that was farmer jack problem too A.P. sister store:; paying employees too 💰 money & too much benefits;; too;; metro detroit have Kroger they gave super great stock market pension _ 401 k program ; other than that ;; regular job :: metro detroit got Meijer grocery store it Walmart competition::; it hard to say which is better;; Meijer or Walmart to shop to work it another argument;; different subject ;; laugh ; laugh;; farmer Jack had great potatoes salid : metro food company made farmer jack potatoes salid special ;;; Kroger sell it now ;; farmer Jack also had great barbecue chicken: it was great barbecue chicken at a good price
Mars was also a candy maker too
Facts! Still is 😁
The Bohack Cha Cha Cha.
Ingles Grocery store. IGA, Fresh Foods. Super Dollar, Whites Store, Savealot,
Ingles is still around surprisingly
@@undergroundretail yes I know.
Memphis tennessee had a store in the seventies called Pic Pac
I remember back in the 1970's,Great Scott!Supermarkets and Wrigley Supermarkets merged,and the Wrigley Supermarkets were rebranded Great Scott!Supermarkets. Then,Kroger bought the Great Scott!Supermarket chain and Kroger rebranded Great Scott!Supermarkets to Kroger. To,this very day and Kroger is still going strong.
❤️/ great scott grocery store
Really , great scott & krogery are related
Yes you did say Safeway and Albertson's but not top forgotten stores plus Gemco which was a Grocery/regular store with a $1.00 membership fee per year and Von's
Thanks for pointing that out. I should do a defunct membership stores.
Service Merchandise and s and h's redemption centers.
Radio Shack is also making a comeback but not Lafayette.
Penguin Sodas was great.
Masters department Stores are also closed.

Great Recomendations!
Dominick's, Eagles, Colony, couple others missing

Logli, Hilander, two supermarket chains are also missing.

Sunflower 🌻
You are Missing RED Owl Food Stores and its successor Rainbow Foods operating out of Minnesota.
Noted 📝📝📝
I miss Kmart
We do too! 😭
Me too!!😢
Is Albertsons still around anywhere? Its not in South Florida, that is for sure!
Albertsons is in California doing well so far
They have some here in North Texas. I think they left South FL long ago.
Winn Dixie formerly the Chek brand until 1966.
I love it ! 👍50 's& 60 's were /are awesome
Yes they are!
Chek merged with Winn Dixie in 1966.
Grew up in binghamton ny we had victory great American shusters grand union
Big Bear started back in the 30’s not the 90’s
*Mistake on our end. It should’ve said 1933. Sadly there is no way I can update it 😔.
Shopwell was not mentioned
Great Suggestion!
The third American Fare was in Jackson, Mississippi, not Missouri. It was only two blocks from my house. The location was for a while a Big K before closing. The front parking lot was turned into a CarMax, while the store itself sat empty for about three years before Comcast moved in to do it's Jackson-area work. Now the space is empty with Comcast moving to a Jackson suburb.
Thanks for the on-site
Now Sav A Lots and Aldis are left.
I believe ALDI bought out Win Dixie.
I read about that as well.
In Miami, all of the Winn Dixie’s with the exception of a few were changed to Fresco Y Mas. There was still a Winn Dixie in Miami Lakes and off NW 151/NW 7th Ave. Used to go in to get shrimp and crab steamed every morning.
Every beloved supermarket purchased by A & P went to hell & closed!!
Dang! I thought they were better than that.
@@undergroundretail My family used to shop at Waldbaum's once A&P took over Waldbaum's it became unrecognizable as Waldbaum's as all the products with Waldbaum's label which we like were replaced A&P products which were totally different & mot which we used for ages Waldbaum's until its demise was nothing more than A&P with Waldbaum's in signage only!! It was not Waldbaum's any more & the service we always expected was lo longer there!!!
P&C Foods
Super Duper
Penn Traffic ruined Big Bear
Agreed! 💯
Grand Union moved to Sleepy Hollow.
Albertons Jewel Osco Kash and Karry Food Lion alll went belly up.
Albertsons is doing well in California but it's expensive
What about key food
Great Suggestion! Maybe in a Part 3.
C Town Grand Union a and p pathmark and Genoveses all closed.
Hinky dinky
What about penn fruit markets was a Philadelphia company think Went went bankrupt in 1970s sold off it kiddie city toys store to grow grocery business
I'm from Columbus, OH and Big Bear was the best. It's meat was far superior to Kroger killing machine. Big Bear was community driven, always giving back to Columbus\Springfield area. They were the first to take debit bank cards when they became out in 80s while Kroger still made you wrote checks. Most were turned here into Giant Eagle which is a good grocery store but they still don't have Big Bear's quality when came to there butcher shop. Where I grew up in Yellow Springs there was a local grocery in area and Springfield called Fulmer's and they had restaurants in there locations and had the best deli style sandwiches and their brand of coffee that to this day I miss. I can't stand Kroger's , people are dying in their park lot we had around 6 killings in last 3 years and their security is joke. It's not safe to shop in Kroger's anymore and they force people to buy up and won't carry a product to make them buy their own brand Private Selection, it's a joke with Kroger's in Ohio and headquarters is in Cincy. Who else headquarters in Ohio and in Cincy P&G and had stand off with Kroger's few years back threated to pull products, take guess who won that fight and wasn't rat infested Kroger's. They had to actually had to close down certain Kroger locations the do to rat infestations. I won't shop at Kroger's they don't a penny from me, either Walmart or Giant Eagle.
Why
i do not like the narrators voice,but a good video
Part 1 was magic part 2 ADS, product placement different voice join this click this blah blah
I definitely remember Saverite it was a good store until the end then it went to shit! 😅
Agreed! The store locations were very dated. Many in my area were converted to Walmart Neighborhood Markets.
@@undergroundretail Indeed they were very dated and hmm the ones in Paulding County were converted to Food Lion then Food Depot, and the ones in Douglasville and Cobb County became Food Depot as well or churches/other uses in general! 🤔
