The Market Report

Stop & Shop Opened: 2008 Owner:  Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants:  A&P (ca. late 1980s-2003) > Grand Union Family Markets (2003-2008) Cooperative:  none Location:  56 Shank Painter Rd, Provincetown, MA Photographed:  July 30, 2021 Contributor:  Lars D. You can tell from the outside right away that this is not your average Stop & Shop. The roughly 40,000 square foot store was actually built in the late 1980s as an A&P, later becoming a Grand Union Family Markets owned by C&S when A&P left the area in 2003. GUFM sold this and one other location to Stop & Shop in 2008. This is the only supermarket in Provincetown, and the next closest is an independent called Wellfleet Marketplace in Wellfleet, about 13 miles southeast. It's also the farthest-out supermarket on Cape Cod, as Provincetown is the last town on the cape. Our loyal contributor Lars brings us a look inside the store, and since I haven't been myself I don't truly know ...

Original Grocery Tenant: Grand Union Address: 111 Hulst Dr, Matamoras, PA Opened:  1993 Closed:  2001 Later Tenants:  Grand Union Family Markets (2001-2004) Photographed:  February 3, 2021 Yesterday we saw a former Grand Union that has remained a supermarket since, and today, we're going to check out one that closed almost 20 years ago. The Westfall Town Center was originally built with a 115,000 square foot Kmart and a 40,000 square foot Grand Union. The latter was subdivided in 2004 with multiple tenants including a movie theater, and the former was subdivided in late 2021, with 73,000 square feet of it going to ShopRite. That replaced the now-closed Montague store  just two miles east across in New Jersey. Tomorrow we're headed to the other supermarket in Matamoras on The Market Report , which is also our last Pennsylvania store!

Key Food Marketplace Owner: Junior Dabashi Opened:  2013 Previous Tenants:  Grand Union (closed 2001) > Grand Union Family Markets (2001-2010) > Milford Farms (2010-2013) Cooperative:  Key Food Stores Location:  501 W Harford St, Milford, PA Photographed:  December 18, 2019 Today's store is one with quite a bit of history in the last few decades! The 22,000 square foot store was built as a Grand Union in approximately the 1970s, then closed in 2001 with the rest of the chain. This location was purchased by C&S Wholesale Grocers, who kept the store open under the Grand Union Family Markets banner. In 2010, the store was sold to a Key Food owner, who operated the store under the name Milford Farms but did not actually ever change the sign. Under GUFM and then Milford Farms, the store pretty seriously deteriorated. By 2013, the store had been sold within Key Food to the Dabashi family, who also own a similar former Grand Union store in Beacon, NY and an...
