In Massachusetts and Connecticut, one of the grocery chains uses the slogan "It's no big surprise, it's my Big Y." But here in Maine, a significantly less catchy slogan could be "It's no big surprise, it's another freakin' Hannaford." The Maine native chain has around 70 stores in the state (almost a third of the supermarkets in Maine, more than any other chain). And here we are at another location -- built around 1980 as a Shop n' Save but converted to Hannaford in the early 2000s.

This store measures about 55,000 square feet, and was probably most recently remodeled on the outside when it switched from Shop n' Save to Hannaford. This is the largest grocery store in Belfast, but on Monday we'll check out the one that's right downtown!

P.S... I've (finally) had enough time to write some news posts, so tune in tomorrow to check out three brand-new supermarkets in New York City!
