Quick update here at the ShopRite of Millburn, NJ to see that the new logo has been installed on the outside (of course, the logo was officially switched in 2002). We've previously toured the store here and seen a historical photo here. Based on some additional information sent in from a 1973 article by the Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society, Staff-Good Deal was based out of Elizabeth, NJ and at its peak in the 1960s had 14 stores. Its financial troubles were solidified by the early 1970s, closing several stores in Bergen and Passaic counties in 1973 before going under in 1976. Unfortunately, we determined that I do not have the ability to post the article because of copyright protections, but those are the key points. This store is just south of downtown Millburn, where we'll be heading tomorrow for our second-to-last store of Essex County, which also has Wakefern roots. More to come, stay tuned!
