The Market Report

The Hudson Valley was one of the places where Grand Union was strongest. This store in Saugerties, NY made it to the end, and closed in the bankruptcy of 2001. It was taken over by C&S Wholesale Grocers and operated for a brief time as a Grand Union Family Market before closing. The Grand Union was all the way on the right of this mall, where the Big Lots is now. Big Lots moved in after Family Markets left. Just up the street from this store is the Price Chopper in Saugerties.

In the small Hudson Valley town of Saugerties, NY is this beautiful Price Chopper Super Center. It was probably a 1990s new-build store. This is probably one of my better shots. The store inside is quite nice, although a little outdated. It definitely feels like a more old-fashioned store. And strangely enough, it's very large but it has no pharmacy. Maybe there was some problem in getting the permits for it.
