FORGOTTEN Grocery Stores from the past - Life in America

That's where this was, just a little ways north of San Fransisco. We also had a Safeway and a Petrini's, though no one I knew was fancy enough to shop in Petrini's. It was literally a grocery store that caters to the wealthy and their butcher cost 10x what the normal grocery stores cost.

Mine was in Mountain View. I do remember Petrini's!

South Cumberland had A&P and Acme within a mile of each other. Most of the others I remember were Mom and Pop places.

I figured you for Food Land in Grantsville.

Too far to drive. I guess they were a chain too since there were a couple around the county. They all became IGA at some point.

The Acme became a Mor For Less which is now closed, and the A&P became a Save-A-Lot. which is still open thankfully.

I liked BiLo, which I think still exist in the south. I liked them mostly because I worked at Kroger at the time lol.
