The Market Report

Original Tenant: A&P Address: 128 NJ-94, Blairstown, NJ Opened:  1960s Closed:  1990s Later Tenants:  Tractor Supply Co. Photographed:  January 2021 A&P came to the small town of Blairstown, in northwestern Warren County, in the 1960s with a 26,000 square foot store.

Blairstown is roughly 13 miles to the northwest of Hackettstown, where we'll be headed in a few days. This store is just outside what might be considered downtown Blairstown (not a large town but not a crazy small one either with roughly 6000 people), and route 94 here is fairly remote for a large supermarket like ACME. It's about five miles north from route 80, the major interstate through the area. This store was built as an A&P in the 1990s to replace an older 1960s-era location just east on 94, which you can see here . This small town also has another grocery store, Dale's Market , whose Branchville location we saw not long ago. I first visited the store in January of ...
