The Market Report

Quinn's Market Owner: Jeff Krenitsky Opened:  1988 Cooperative:  ShurSave Location:  12 Kennedy Dr, Archbald, PA Photographed:  August 12, 2020 Here we are at the final Quinn's ShurSave, with the other locations of the chain in nearby Peckville and to the south in Pittston . At just 16,000 square feet, this is the smaller location, and it also appears to be the oldest, having opened in 1988 (at least under its current ownership). We can tell it's on the older side inside, with quite a bit of neon that isn't working or at least isn't turned on. We enter to produce in the first aisle, with deli/bakery and meat on the back wall. Dairy and frozen are in the last aisle, with additional frozen in an alcove in the front right corner. The exterior has been painted since my visit, possibly in response to a Dollar General opening next door. I'm not sure if any work has been done on the inside since I visited, but at the time of my 2020 visit, the interior was still spo...

Quinn's Market Owner:  Jeff Krenitsky Opened:  unknown Cooperative:  Shursave Location:  1437 Main St, Peckville, PA Photographed:  August 12, 2020 Welcome to the Quinn's Market in Peckville, PA! The 42,000 square foot store is in the middle of the small borough of Blakely, although I don't have much history to report on this store. I'm not clear whether Quinn's built the store, or whether they bought it from another operator at some point. We enter to a wide-open spacious produce department in the front right corner of the store in an area with a lower ceiling. Deli, seafood, and meats are in the back right corner, with bakery and dairy on the rest of the back wall. Frozen continues on the left side of the store and in an alcove in the front. This is a very nice store, although it feels like it's larger than it needs to be. This is the larger of the two Quinn's stores (with a third recently closed in Pittston ). As we can see, there is a lot of space in the...

Quinn's Market Owner: Jeff Krenitsky Opened:  2010-2022 Cooperative:  ShurSave Location:  401 Kennedy Blvd, Pittston, PA Photographed:  December 22, 2018 The Pittston location of Quinn's Market was well-documented over on Acme Style before the blog went dark, so I strongly recommend you check out their posts before we jump into our tour of this 26,000 square foot store. For a brief recap of the store's history, it was constructed in 1966 before becoming an ACME Super Saver in the 1970s, a brand it actually retained through the 90s. In 1994, it was sold to Penn Traffic and became an Insalaco's, then Bruno's ShurSave by 2006 which closed in 2008, then the third location of Quinn's ShurSave in 2010. My impression is that Bruno's and Insalaco's did little to no renovation prior to opening, and that the ACME decor may have been intact as late as 2008. Quinn's appears to be the one who changed the decor to what it was. The store closed in 2022 but the p...
