To finish off the Tops to Grand Union locations, we now tour one last location that I have in my archives in Cooperstown. This location was also a P&C Foods and it appears little was done to update this location. The only evidence of Tops making a change, outside of the obvious logo swap, was adding the Tops slogan of 'Your neighborhood store with more.' The decor appears to be a rare surviving P&C decor at a Tops. Given that we are near Cooperstown, this location relies quite heavily on using a unique spin by using baseball related decorations. I'm not sure if that was an addition Tops made or if it was original to P&C. You'll notice teams from all over the country can be spotted. Hopefully Grand Union will continue to use it.

This store is due to close January 30th, and re-open as Grand Union on February 5th. Rome and Sherrill are due to close on February 20th and re-open as Grand Union on February 26th.
ReplyDeleteUnless C&S has been renovating these past two months, these stores can't look that much different given the 5-6 day closure. The most you can get is a new coat of paint, decor, technology, and new shopping carts.
Yeah, that really isn't a lot of time to make drastic changes.
DeleteThough they might after the initial reopening. The official grand opening date is March 4th, according to C&S's fairly open article about the chain.

Definitely something to monitor.
