Corry Plaza

With everything going on in the world at the moment, I thought it would be appropriate to take a quick look around at a pharmacy in Corry, PA - and would later revise my plan to basically take a look at the entirety of the shopping plaza it is located in. 

All evidence would suggest that this CVS location seen below was a former Revco and that would make sense given this location is part of a community shopping plaza.


While its true you 'quit tobacco' by not selling it anymore, I don't think it is that easy for your customers to quit. But, hey this isn't a bad move; just amusing as CVS quit tobacco in an entirely different way then what most would assume those words to mean. 





Comments on my Flickr photostream suggest that the aisle marker signs happen to be a relic from Revco, so that's pretty neat that CVS actually reused them. 



And now I pivot this post to focus on the neighbor to this CVS for a second. I have a suspicion that the Save a Lot next door may have been a Kroger at one point. Given that Revco was likely next door, I feel pretty confident in my guess.


It actually did relocate to this spot from an abandoned plaza (as seen below) closer to downtown Corry, so obviously something would of been here prior.


A few pictures of an entirely different shopping plaza closer to downtown Corry that is now mostly abandoned.
Back at the Corry Plaza, we also have a few more pictures to look at:

Former Quality Farm and Fleet; and likely also a former Ames 
Former a GC Murphy 5&10 then a Dollar Zone

  1. Yep, I'm getting a Kroger vibe from that Save-a-Lot. And cool indeed if CVS reused those aisle markers!

    1. Good. It makes sense to me since Revco often had stores next to Kroger.

      One of these days I should really try to see if I can figure out where Kroger did exactly have locations in Pennsylvania. Though tackling the Pittsburgh area would be quite the challenge.

    2. I'll agree, that sounds like quite the challenge, but if you are able to go through with it, I'd enjoy seeing it!
