The Fresh Grocer of Wyncote Owner: Jeff Brown Opened:  2016 Previous Tenants:  Pathmark (1995-2015) Cooperative:  Wakefern Food Corp. Location:  1000 Easton Rd, Wyncote, PA Photographed:  July 22, 2021 Remember the Brown's ShopRite we toured two days ago, just about half a mile away? Well, now we're going to tour the Brown's Fresh Grocer at Wyncote, in the massive Cedarbrook Plaza. As you can probably tell from the exterior, this store was built in the 1990s as a Pathmark (1995, to be exact) -- see its similarity to Linden , for instance -- and Brown's did really only cosmetic updates to the outside before moving in.

ALDI Opened: unknown Previous Tenants: A&P (opened 1960s) Location: 8200 Ogontz Ave, Wyncote, PA Photographed: July 22, 2021 We're just across the street from the ShopRite we saw yesterday for a look at a 1960s-era A&P that has been repurposed as an ALDI and a dollar store taking the other half. The A&P was roughly 21,000 square feet, and actually has a vaguely Centennial-style facade, some of which you can see above. There's also an arched roof (albeit a low, flat arch) back there somewhere. I'm not sure whether this location made it to the SuperFresh conversions of the early 1980s, or when ALDI opened. So unfortunately I don't have too much information on this store other than what we see here. Tomorrow, we're continuing to head just a little farther west on Cheltenham Avenue to our next Wyncote stop here on The Market Report!
