Pet Valu #5157, located at 2600 N. Willow Street Pike in Willow Street, Pennsylvania opened in January 2013 in a space formerly occupied by some sort of gallery (2009 Google Maps streetview is to blurry to make out the full name) and was one of three Pet Valu locations in Lancaster County (the other two were located in Lititz and Ephrata and appear to have opened around the same time). It closed in January 2021 and is now Pet Supplies Plus #4394.  Since I'm an idiot, I don't have any photos of these store while it was still open so this Google Maps screenshot will have to do. Google Maps imagery Whatever that gallery place was. It has a "no late fees" sign making me think it was something like Blockbuster Google Maps imagery Pet Supplies Plus, now open. Note how there's no official sign, just a banner. The Pet Valu logo is still under there A very similar banner that was used while Pet Supplies Plus was being stocked.

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
