Portville's Soon to be Former Park 'N Shop

 

    Closing at the end of the month, another local supermarket is calling it quits. This really isn't a surprise though, as this was part of a local chain that had been winding down operations in recent years. We previously toured a location in Olean (W. State St.) that closed and has since been replaced by a Dollar General. This Portville location was the last holdout of the over 100-year-old grocery store chain. With this store's closure, the owners plan to retire. At least the Park 'N Shop legacy will still live on in a way with one location in Olean (Front St.) having been sold to another operator.

Former Kmart #7353

    Unlike last month's former Kmart supercenter, the Johnson City, TN was actually built as a standard Kmart supercenter location. As was typical, this would mean the location would have the typical features expected. At the time of my visit, only the pharmacy and arcade remained. This location has been subdivided between Hobby Lobby, At Home and a primary health care center.
