| Former Hannibal store |
Cook County-based chain IGA are a network of indie grocers across the country (they're also in Australia and Canada in the Commonwealth). They've left bigger areas in recent decades and are seen more in small towns like Potsdam and Old Forge They blazed a trail when Grand Union and A&P started out in tea before competing. Here's an assorted selection from around Upstate and the Tri-State of what some older folks may assume is all but long gone.

Looks like the Red Hook spot is now CVS - they must have moved there.
ReplyDeleteFor many years they were a bit down the street in what was an old A&P store (one of the later closing ones in the area).
Hannaford is a new build store and south of the main village area (closer to Rhinebeck, which is why they sold the Stop & Shop to Tops, as they are the only 2 supermarkets in that area now).
