Glimpse: Happy Harry's #19 - Newark, DE

Image
Happy Harry's #19, located at 241 College Square in Newark, Delaware was built and opened in 1982 with the rest of the College Square shopping center, which, at the time included a Pathmark (now ACME ) and a Bradlees (became  Kmart , which closed in 2018). Became Walgreens #11019 in 2006, although the exterior signage was never replaced and the store was bannered as Happy Harry's until its closure around 2010. The store as a Happy Harry's. Google Maps Streetview The building as it appears today. There's still some labelscar on the building, although due to the rain it's hard to see. Close-up of Happy Harry's logo on the building. I have no idea why Google put a filter on part of the logo. Google Maps Streetview

Tour: Weis #17 - Lancaster, PA

Image
This is a repost (sort of). There was a Quick Look of this store a little while ago. Now that I have more photos, I'm doing a full tour. Weis #17, located at 1700 Fruitville Pike, Unit A in Lancaster, Pennsylvania opened in the late 1990s as what could have been a relocation of the store 1890 Fruitville Pike, which opened with a neighboring Kmart. It ended up closing in the 1990s, so the relocation makes plenty of sense. Plus, the original location likely opened in 1970 (with the Kmart), which makes the store number make even more sense. Store #17 has used the glass tower entrance since its original opening. Behind the glass, on the inside of the store, there is a large “mural” with photos of fruits and vegetables. This location recently received a new exterior sign, removing the older one with the silver sides in favor of a new one in all red. UPDATE 04/30/21 (thanks to catnapped): The store next to the former Kmart originally opened as a Pantry Pride back in 1970 and became Weis...
