Chicago Markets

If Chicago Markets were around today via AI.

 Chicago Markets were not in Chicago at all. They were here in CNY until the '80s. I was too young to remember the last one being open, but I've heard about them in recent memory. Special thanks to our friends at Groceteria for their meticulous research on every vintage of the past five generations!

Syracuse (east side) - E Adams St

Syracuse (north side) - Butternut St; later Peters, now Save-a-Lot

Syracuse (west side) - S Geddes St; later Carls Drugs, Fays Drugs and Save-a-Lot; now Wilson Dental

Syracuse (east side) (2) - NY 5

Syracuse (south side) (1) - NY 175; later Family Dollar, now Dollar General

Syracuse (south side) (2)  - US 11, Valley Plaza; previously Acme, Tops and P&C (last two twice); now vacant

Utica - Mohawk St (later Great American and Tops, now Hannaford), Columbia St, Franklin Sq. (previously Mohican), Leland Ave (later Great American; now Big Lots and Parkway Drugs), and Oneida St (later Great American) (the flagships are grouped this way because I don't know the area quite as well compared to fifty miles away and to save time)

New Hartford - Genesee St (then-NY 5/8/12)

Yorkville - NY 5A & 69; now Mastrovito Hyundai

TBD - Rome, Oneida, Herkimer, Massena (can't be the same one since that's North Country)
