The Market Report

Heading back up to Troy, PA for today's Snapshot. We previously took a quick look at the Tops Friendly Markets in Troy earlier this month. Now we're going to see a store that is currently a Dollar Tree, but was previously a Dollar General and presumably a Bi-Lo and before that, an Insalaco's. Before that it was definitely an ACME! This beautifully preserved pitched-roof store, when it was a Dollar General, was actually in much worse condition. Dollar Tree fixed it up pretty nicely. We can see clearer in the Google street view that it's an early model pitched-roof store... ...since it has the beams coming out at an angle on the side walls. For a complete tour of a supermarket of the same model, check out the Confluence Foodmart in Confluence, PA. This former ACME is located at 38 Elmira St, Troy, PA.

Troy, PA--not to be confused with the more famous Troy, NY , home of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute--is a small town of 1300 about halfway between Wyalusing and Sayre , although farther west than either. Actually, Towanda, PA is almost exactly halfway between the two, and Troy is as far west of Towanda as Towanda is from either Wyalusing and Sayre. But anyway... Troy has that iconic Pennsylvania downtown main street, shown here at the end of Canton St. We're going to take a look at the supermarket just outside of the incorporated community, a Tops Market at 684 Elmira St. This Tops looks to have the same decor package as the location in Tannersville, NY, which you can see a tour of here . I don't know whether Troy was ever a Grand Union, though, as that one was.
