Re: Dueling Krogers

From roughly 1976 to 1979, there were two Pick-N-Pays operating within two blocks of each other on Clark Avenue in Cleveland, OH. One store was the original Pick-N-Pay that opened in the 1950's; the other was a former Kroger that Pick-N-Pay took over in 1976 shortly after Kroger closed all of their Cleveland area Kroger-branded stores. In 1979, the original Pick-N-Pay closed; that building became a Rite Aid/Family Dollar combo. The former Kroger later became Finast, then Tops. That store recently closed when Tops announced the closing of several of their OH stores.
For several years, there were two Save-A-Lots that operated within a few blocks of each other in the Detroit Avenue area of Cleveland-one store, part of a former Pick-N-Pay at West 65th and Franklin, is shared with a CVS pharmacy. The newer Save-A-Lot, at West 59th and Detroit, is in a former Kroger building that also was a Bi-Rite, an IGA, and a few other small chains before Save-A-Lot took over. The West 65th and Franklin Save-A-Lot closed about a year ago.--Previous Message--
