Snapshot: Weis Markets - Conshohocken, PA

Weis Markets
Opened: 2012
Previous Tenants: Genuardi's (ca. 2005-2012)
Location: 200 W Ridge Pk, Conshohocken, PA
Photographed: July 22, 2021
Just across the street from yesterday's GIANT is this Weis, which was constructed around 2005 as a Genuardi's. In 2012, when Safeway-owned Genuardi's went under, this store and a few others were sold to central PA chain Weis Markets. I'm not sure whether Weis renovated the 48,000 square foot store right away after opening (they didn't redo the store before opening), or whether they waited a few years, but I do know that by 2016 the store had been remodeled to the current decor package. Check out a photo of the store as Genuardi's here along with some more history. On Monday, we're headed into the next town west, Norristown, which is a little bit larger of a city and also the county seat of Montgomery County, for a look at a small store on The Independent Edition!

  1. Interesting. What would have a Genuardi's of the time looked like?

    1. Weis didn't change the exterior, so this store's exterior is pretty much what a Genuardi's would've looked like with slightly different signage. Here's an example of a (very high-end) Genuardi's interior: https://www.shookkelley.com/work-detail/73

  2. Seems like this store got a new facade recently.

    I think I prefer the Genuardi's one, to be honest.

    1. Agreed. Not only is that not particularly attractive, it's not so much in line with what Weis is doing at their new-build and other renovated stores.
