This situation also occurred in Willowick, Ohio, when Pick-n-Pay took over the Kroger store in North Shore Mall upon Kroger's departure and continued to operate their store around the corner at Shoregate Shopping Center --Previous Message--
: 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.

: There is an interesting phenomenon in
: the
: Buckhead area of Atlanta. On Peachtree
: Road there are two Kroger stores
: operating virtually across the road
: from each other. What makes this
: interesting is that neither store was
: originally a Kroger. One was originally
: and A&P Food Market and one was a
: Harris Teeter. Both chains exited the
: ATL market several years ago-both
: stores still retain their original
: exteriors and interiors-the only
: difference is the Kroger logo replacing
: the old signage. Have you seen a
: similar occurance in your area with
: your local chains?
