Are you talking about the store in Millison Plaza? For years, it was an A&P.

I think it was also a Jamesway.
A&P bought SuperFresh - and PathMark - and Food Basics -and more.
And I think SuperFresh carried the A&P brands - Eight O'Clock, Ann Page...

Whats the difference going to be with traffic build the new Walmart, in Charles at the county line. Bring a few more jobs to Charles County and more tax money. Walmarts a huge company you thing not letting them build in Waldorf will stop them. Pause for awhile and look at the old horse farm on just the other side of Mattawomen creek in PG or even the Curtis Farm on the right side of 301 across from the horse farm or even the land up behind Winegarders Im sure Walmart could make an offer on any of those pieces of land that someone wont be able to refuse. Then we will still have all the traffic when we try to get through Brandywine to Waldorf.

I thought the WalMart was going on the property where the Chaney football field is? Thought that was a done deal?
No ,some how they are looking across the street .They aren't getting much resistance from anyone because anything will be better than the Wal-mart in Waldorf now ,it is the dirtiest store I have ever seen .
nope.. well maybe in another century. That space was completely overhauled and rebuilt as a Super Fresh after Harvest Market (now the gym and Mission BBQ) closed.
Whatever had been there was gutted and expanded for the Super Fresh.

Superfresh had the best self checkouts that I have ever used, its been almost 15 years since they closed and nobody still have better self checkouts.
Obviously you live in Charlotte Hall, that little slice of SMC attached to COMCAST and Chuck County. The rest of SMC gets Metrocast which is just a reincarnation of Western Shore ad nauseam.
As for income, you are the one who is blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. There is a significant number of people in SMC living on or below the poverty line. What drives the "average" earnings up are those employed on base - and that is now dropping.

The current SFW was the Jamesway department store when San Souci was first built.
You wouldn't happen to have any empirical evidence to support your opinion? Please advance the discussion beyond anectdotal "I think so's..." The facts in evidence sitting starkly in opposition to your view.

Sure was with the Grocery Store on the opposite corner. Also I believe it was called Bullucks Music Store sold pianos in the corner towards what is now the Gym.
Yes I do. Now, if we can only get a sewer to support our flush toilets, sit down restaurants, and a decent grocery store, I'll stop bi@#$chen! How did we (CH) get public water and the best cable, but get rooked on flush toilets and the implements of good nutrition? I'm just saying something went terribly wrong in the gene pool in the past 20 years. Seems like an area of progressive folks slid backwards. I know this stands in opposition to the view the area has "always been ass backwards" and "why would you move to an area and expect to change things." 23 years ago, people didn't seem so scared of change. Now, in my third decade in the area, I've watched the progressive folks (those that believed in a new library, public water, and better utilities like cable) slowly replaced by fearful people terrified of change. Don't even get me started on the inbred that didn't want a college campus. I know higher education is a direct threat to fearful people. Dark always has good reason to fear the light, because sun shine is the best disinefectant. People that fear traffic, but put in a commuter parking lot and keep the flea market. People that fear the density of housing a public sewer brings while their property values plummet and foreclosures abound. I gotta say it one more time, people that think a school, yes, a place of learning and community gathering, is a bad thing.

So a new Wal-mart with the same employees and customers is going to be better, how? Give it a few years and it'll be back to a piece of #### if the only thing they're going to do is build a new one.
Thank you. It was Jamesway when I moved here in 1990. Then SuperFresh after Harvest Market closed.
First shots fired in Waldorf Wal-Mart supercenter proposal battle
Board of Appeals holds hearing on plan
The fight over a special exception request to build a Wal-Mart supercenter at Mattawoman Drive and U.S. 301 in Waldorf heated up Tuesday, with the applicant, Waldorf Restaurant Inc., presenting its plan at a public hearing.
Kirby Blass, a planner with Charles County Department of Planning & Growth Management, said the proposal is to build a one-story, 184,015-square-foot building with 8,452 square feet of open-air garden space on the west side of U.S. 301 south of Mattawoman Drive. Retail space that is more than 100,000 square feet requires a special exception permit in Charles County.
The site is zoned for transit-oriented development, Blass said, and on 20 acres that would be part of a developed 143-acre project called Waldorf Station. If approved, the supercenter would replace the current Wal-Mart on Acton Lane, 1 mile south of the proposed site.
In a telephone interview Thursday, Jim Long, president of Mattawoman Watershed Society, said his organization is opposed to a large retail store that would force the extension of Western Parkway through a resource protection zone, and damage Mattawoman Creek. The original plan for Western Parkway in 2004, Long said, did not put the road through an RPZ.
“Our concerns are more with the protection of Mattawoman Creek,” Long said. The group is looking at the situation as a whole, and the RPZ will be violated if the current plan is approved, he said.
Meredith Sweet has lived in Waldorf for 15 years. She said she works from home, but her husband commutes to work in Northern Virginia, and she said he believes that when Brandywine Crossing opened just north of the proposed site for the new Wal-Mart, his commute was increased by 10 minutes.
“This is, in my mind, a great example of the wrong development in the wrong place,” said Sweet, who lives in White Oak Village off of Route 5. She added that Waldorf Station is supposed to be the county’s gateway project, but, to her, Wal-Mart does not belong in the county’s gateway.
Traffic is a huge concern for Sweet, who said many Waldorf residents commute out of Charles County, and any more lights or traffic on U.S. 301 will only mean more congestion, which is another reason why the Wal-Mart is proposed in the wrong place, she said.
“And then there’s the environmental problem,” Sweet said. “[The proposed Wal-Mart] is too close to Mattawoman Creek.”

That area is a complete cluster#### for anyone who tries heading south on 5/301. It would make things even worse.
