Just around the corner from a Price Chopper-turned-Market 32 here in Morrisville is this Hannaford. It's just a hair smaller than the Market 32 at around 50,000 square feet, and you might be able to tell just from looking at the outside that this is a somewhat unusual Hannaford exterior. That's because the store was built by Grand Union, not Hannaford, in their final years in business -- around the mid-1990s. In 2001, Hannaford took this store over.

Grand Union has had a longer presence in Morrisville than just since the mid-1990s, though. In fact, their previous location was just across the street from what's now the Hannaford.

It's been subdivided, but the original Grand Union here was about 26,000 square feet, or just about half the size of the newer store. Tomorrow, we continue our trek west and will stop in the small town of Johnson just west of here!
