iceland (supermarket)
philadelphia was the home of many pioneering supermarket chains during the same period, many of which had trademark architecture. the longest-running of these is acme, formerly known as american stores and super saver. other examples are long-defunct food fair (pantry pride) and penn fruit, but acme has closed many stores and was sold to albertsons. they have however acquired many stores from their failed rivals. a&p, based in new york city, once had philadelphia as a core market. after many previous store closings, the company shuttered its entire philadelphia division in 1982. due to a union outcry, it built some new stores and reopened others as super fresh from 1982 to 1985. the a&p name lives on in the nearby new york/new england market. more recently, the company acquired established philadelphia/new york chain pathmark. many of these stores that have closed were replaced by franchises such as shur-fine, supervalu, iga, and thriftway/shop 'n bag. many other former supermarkets have become off-price stores such as big lots, family dollar, and dollar general. current major players in the region today include shoprite, save-a-lot, aldi, giant-carlisle, and local chain genuardi's. failed family-owned chains are clemens and giunta's. newer upscale chains include whole foods, wegmans, and trader joe's. there are few wal-mart supercenters in the immediate area. in nearby markets, safeway, stop & shop, giant-landover, kroger, food lion, and formerly grand union operate.
