Obviously, we've been here many times before, but today we're back to see a few new stores. I'm particularly excited about this tour because I visited this store first back in November of 2023, photographing it at the end of its time as a Compare Foods (which opened in 2019). It appears to have closed shortly after I visited, then changed ownership and reopened last month as a brand-new Associated Fresh. So I have a fun before-and-after of the place. The store was originally slated to be a Fine Fare, and appears to have been constructed in early 2018 (in an existing building).
