| AI version of Smiths Market |
Smith's Hometown Markets (not the Kroger-owned chain in the western part of the country that I've mentioned before, Smiths Restaurant Supply, or the pioneering Smiths IGA on NY 90 in Genoa in Cayuga County the Finger Lakes) was a small chain in Onondaga and Madison Counties that may have started by the mid-'60s and went out of business in 2001-02 one by one, going the way of the Smiths. Because very little information is available, I've had to dig a little as much of this has faded into obscurity. Comments are welcomed.
Fayetteville - NY 5 & 257 at 104 Salt Springs St (picture found after a few weeks of intense research); where Arquette & Associates Real Estate (former Century 21 affiliate) are now, although Hometown stablemates Peters was where Kohls is today a mile or two away. Both were also IGA franchises until the '80s. Previously Red & White (which is still at some random indies).
