Additional Flickr Photos. Again. Sorry.

 Giant, Mechanicsburg, PA
Bakery still in its original location. In most stores, they move the bakery behind the produce section, and expand Frozen into its old location.

 This was a pretty weird store. I think this was the older of the two Giants in town, opening in the late 90's or early 2000's. The other one still has the first "Fun House" décor, but this one has been remodeled.

 The milk section was bumped out from the wall a bit when they redid it. I still don't know why they do that.

 Pharmacy is closed up for the night.

 Customer service.

 Meat & Seafood. The lighting was replaced after the remodel, which isn't too unusual. Normally, they turn off the wall lanterns and décor lighting when they do, though. I'm glad they kept them on here!

 The café had been expanded.

Produce department.

 Back wall.

Deli.

 Rest Stop, Glenmoore, PA
This was rebuilt within the last year or so. I think Roy Roger's only locations left here are in mall food courts and rest stops.

 Best Products/Mealey's Furniture, Berwyn, PA
I can't remember what was here originally, but I know Mealey's opened up around 2012. They rebuilt the entryway and painted the rest of the building purple. It's pretty hard to miss now. Update: Was originally Best Products.

 Chuck E. Cheese, Berwyn, PA
I'm surprised this has gone as long as it has without a logo update. Their Downingtown location at least removed the mouse form the sign when they redesigned it. I wonder if the landlord is keeping them from updating.

A&P/SuperFresh/TJMaxx, Wayne, PA
My last photo wasn't that great. This one better showcases the architecture. The shopping center was redone last fall. Unfortunately, the façade was lost.

 La Providencia Coffee Plantation
Office building to the right, main building on the left. The garage is behind that, and everything else is across the river.

 The wheel led to this pulley. It still turns pretty well. It must have some good lubricant.

 Pool. I'm not sure how the process work, but beans were soaked here.

I think this was a roasting building.

 Porch

 The side entrance leads here. I didn't go in too much further. It smelled awful.

 This was the largest room.

 Hallway, the ceiling is mostly gone.

 I guess this was a daycare room.

 Just in case this place wasn't creepy enough.

 Roasting room.

 Locker room?

 Slightly less disgusting bathroom. This was probably nicer than the Shell one.

 Nasty bathroom. The Shell we stopped at a couple days before wasn't much better, though.

 I think this was an office room. It looks (and smells) like someone lives here now, so I didn't look around too much.

Shutters still look pretty good.

 The back wall. Take a moment to appreciate how dangerous it was to take this shot. We were walking on a rotten 2-foot wide wooden deck.

 Its hard to believe this was still in use in 2000.

 This room was the bean warehouse.

 That door isn't doing much good anymore.

Partial porch collapse.

 Front of the garage still displays the name.

 Door has been nailed shut.

I was able to get a picture inside through the back window. This building is in surprisingly good condition.

 Back of the garage.

Office building. At the time it closed, this was the only building with electricity.

This is the best preserved worker's house. When the plantation closed in 2000, the Nueva Providencia village started in these. At this point, none of the old houses remain inhabited. Apparently, the people have really bad memories of the plantation, and want nothing to do with it.

Pulleys and whatnot. Apparently, Marquette students build some kind of generator with these a few years back, but it was destroyed in a flood.

 Hechinger/ACME, Exton, PA
Shortly after this, the windows were covered over.

Over a year after closing, it was finally cleared out.

Clemens/Giant, Lionville, PA
These are what the employees refer to as the "crappy restrooms" Unlike the bathrooms near Floral, these were not redone in 2010. Originally, they were in a hallway, which was opened up in the last remodel. The bakery was originally where I am standing. The bakery was moved to where the pharmacy was, and the rest of the service departments were taken out to maximize floor space in this tiny store. The back rooms are only about ten feet wide.

Genuardi's, Lionville, PA
It looks like nobody was moving in after all. Albertsons just emptied it out.

Notice the "Ustom Uts" sign in back, I wonder why they took the C's.

I rephotographed this store since my last set of pictures really didn't cover much of it. Customer service just got some new signage and trimwork, but besides that, it is still Clemens

This was originally the sidewalk. When Giant remodeled in 2010, it was enclosed. The walls originally came out to a point in the middle, where the entrance was. I have a picture of what this looked like after Clemens closed, which I will upload before too long.

The former cafe, which is now floral. Clemens expanded into the store next door in 2003. That area housed the deli, cafe, and a second set of restrooms.

Along the back wall, there used to be service departments. They came out of the wall at an angle, like saw teeth. I think there were three of them, one of which contained the old bathrooms.

The nice bathrooms. I'm surprised a store with such wacky décor would put marble tile in their restrooms.

Even though this is where I do most of my shopping, I never really got around to photographing it in depth until last summer. I just took a couple photos per trip over the course of about five grocery runs, so you will be seeing a couple more upload rounds like this. When this was Clemens, they had frozen coffin cases around the pillar in the middle of the aisle here. Above it, the ceiling was raised a couple feet.

Arco/Hill's, Exton, PA
This front part was added on when Hill's moved in.

This back area was originally the service center.

Clemens/Giant, Lionville, PA
A look at the new produce signage. It was replaced in early 2015.

Salad bar in the back of produce.

Pet care aisle.

I went around and tried to photograph all of the décor. It took me a lot longer than I had expected.

The deli, with a ramp leading up to the PLCB department. Giant added this in 2010. The PLCB was originally Rite Aid, which moved in 2002.

Looking from the bakery to the checkouts. I think the bakery was originally Clemens' pharmacy.

 Sears, Exton Mall
This was added on in 2000. Of the three new anchors, this was the first to open.

This was also built in 2000. When they merged with Kmart, they chose to keep this one open rather than the smaller, older one at Kmart.

 Exton Square Mall
North Entrance. Even though this is the main entrance to the mall, it received the least amount of attention when the mall was redone. They rebuilt the entrance, but the rest of it stays the same as it was in 1975. The South Entrance was entirely rebuilt.

 I don't think this mall even had a food court before the expansion in 2000.

 That hallway leads to management offices and some restrooms. The bathrooms were redone last year.

Wegman's, Downingtown, PA
You know it’s an upscale store when they even have custom soap dispensers.

This iron trellis was removed when I returned as well. Seafood was put in the middle area that is covered with a tarp.

Today, we return to the Downingtown Wegman’s to check up on their remodel. Here, we see the former photo center/seasonal department in the middle of being converted into a new catering office.

The former international section, which was turned into the “everything that doesn’t have its own place” area in the last remodel, has been turned over to household supplies and pet food. The rest of the store got similar aisle markers, except they are three-sided.

 Target, Lionville, PA
This opened in 2008 along with the nearby Applebee's on the site of an abandoned farmhouse.

 Target Pharmacy, soon to become CVS.

 Makeup aisles. They have to be responsible for most of the store's electricity bill.

 The grocery section is in the back here. This picture is looking towards the left side of the store.

 I think this is P09 décor.

 Pizza Hut. Starbucks has an operation here as well. They are opening a new location across the street. The Starbucks here may be closed in favor of the new one.

 Paulsboro ACME Revisited
Compare to this picture I took back in 2011.

 Shortly after I took these pictures, this building was gutted out and is now in the process of becoming a Save-A-Lot after twenty years of abandonment. Fortunately, it looks like someone saved the signs. They weren't in the dumpster. I looked. :)

It was so tempting to bust through the window and grab these signs. From the looks of the building, many have had similar ideas.

 Closed Devon Pathmark
Not sure where all these plastic bins came from.

 The vestibule and its payphone. "I remember SuperFresh had the frog and turtle (thats on the chalkboard) on all of the shopping cart handles. Never understood why."-BMore Retail

 The former pharmacy.

I love these huge plate glass windows. They allow for some great pictures.

 The contents of this store were auctioned off later that month.

 A&P Eight O'clock coffee grinder. All stores had these before they divested the brand.

 Looks like they sold out pretty well.

Sorry about the late uploads today! I wasn't sure I would be able to get them in between having a practice AP exam this morning and prom later tonight, but I found some time. Anyways, I just missed the chance of getting in here one last time. I got here at 9:00, only to find out that they had closed for good at 7:30 that same night.

 Staples, Phoenixville, PA
In the early 2000's when the center was de-malled, Staples moved in. This is definitely one of their larger stores.

 Electronics

 Furniture department.

 They have a different kind of lighting over the center aisle and front end. I like the look it gives the place.

 Home Depot, Downingtown, PA

I think they just redid the contractor services area last year.

 Electrical department.

The seasonal display area. No matter what time of year it is, they always manage to fill this entire area up.

 This opened in 2000 on the site of the Downingtown Farmers Market, which closed after the owners sold out to a developer.

 Genuardi's/Keller's, Audubon, PA
Aside from a repaint, very little was done to this store. They even neglected to fix a noticeable hole in the vestibule wall.

 They replaced all the frozen cases with café seating. I don't see how they expect to fill up even half of those tables. There's about 200 of them.

 The décor was kept intact. The hanging signs were down so they could repaint the walls.

 Keller's is actually a Korean ethnic grocer. I stopped by there last weekend. Several employees couldn't speak English, but that didn't stop them from accosting me for taking pictures. I don't think I will be going back there anytime soon.

Today we will be revisiting the former Audubon Genuardi's. The roadside pylon still bears their logo, even though they had been closed for several months at this point.

Fairfield Plaza SignThis is an older picture I decided to put up since Bob Evans closed this location sometime between last Saturday and Tuesday. In late 2013, the logo was updated to one more like this. Between this and the Sports Authority, this center will have vacancies for the first time in four years.

Bob Evans, which closed sometime last week. The façade over the entrance has been removed, the windows painted over, as well as the awning.

 Philadelphia Premium Outlets, Limerick, PA
This center was built in 2003 by Simon Malls. It is a huge success here. There are few (if any) vacancies, and it always seems incredibly busy,

 The parking lot. The pylon is up against Rt. 422, even though there is no direct access from there.

 The building is laid out in a figure-8 shape. What we see here is about 1/4 of the hallway, another of which runs parallel to this.

 This is a nice mall, but it gets incredibly cold during the winter.

 I think this is the main attraction here. This NM Last Call store is in the very center of the mall, and has the largest façade. I don't think it is the anchor, though. In terms of square footage, it is no larger than any other store here. Update: This has since been divided between Old Navy and Under Armour.

 Each section of the mall has a different name, making it easier to navigate. I still get lost, though.

 It seemed like every other kiosk was either a vape shop or a pretzel store. Auntie Anne's has two locations here.

 Whoever named this store deserves some kind of award.

 Costco, Limerick, PA
The cash registers, as seen from the café.

 Looking towards meats. They usually have a sample table set up here. At the end of the day, whatever baked goods aren't sold are given away. I got 3 slices of cake in one night here. This store is a godsend.

 Sales floor

 Bakery, looking towards meats.

Costco Gas pumps.

 ACME, Downingtown, PA
Massive produce section. I think the store was expanded a little during the remodel.

 Bakery. Here, the crests on the awnings say ACME on them as well.

 Meat and Seafood departments.

 Deli.

 Thank God the pillars on the signs here don't have the asymmetrical platform on them. Something about those really bothered me.

 Center aisle. I'm surprised this hasn't been closed up yet.

 Notice the ACME logo in the crest on the restrooms sign. the ones on the awnings in the previous photo had the Albertsons leaf on them.

 The 80's checkerboard flooring was surprisingly replaced in the remodel.

 Dairy corner.

 This store opened in the late 80's, and received a deluxe version of the Industrial Circus décor in the late 90's. It is entirely coincidental that I am the second person to post pictures of this store today. I premeditate my uploads about a week in advance.

 ACME, Paoli, PA
Pharmacy. This corner was completely redone when the store was last remodeled.

 Dairy. Here we can see some lighting overlap. If anything, the PF&H lights were dimmer than the original mercury vapor lights. I'm not sad to see those go!

 Eagles promotional signage along the back of the store. Keep in mind, these pictures were taken before Chip Kelly was (unfortunately) fired. (Edited after the 2018 Super Bowl)

 Salad Bar. The tile work along the back wall looked much nicer in person.

The new lighting was a huge improvement for the produce section.

 Most of the PF&H hood lights were replaced with fluorescent strips last year. I think the conversion was still going on when I took these pictures, since there still were a handful of the old lights.

 Although this store has received some attention lately, the interior retains the first incarnation of the Premium Fresh & Healthy décor. It used to have the Chalkboard Market look.

This store was built in the mid-90's, replacing a 50's store here.

 ACME, Philadelphia (Roxborough)
This ACME was added onto the center in 1962. It is a tiny store, which is why I was surprised they didn't move it into the old SuperFresh. It was cramped inside.

 This picture shows how far back the store went. The curved wall in the back was left over from the 70's remodel.

 The store has a very basic version of the industrial circus decor. To give you a sense of how small this place was, this picture shows more than half the back of the store.

 The roadside sign, along with a Dairy Queen in the background.

 A&P/Genuardi's/Amelia's/Grocery Outlet, Royersford, PA
I think the area behind that wall (Now Family Dollar) was originally part of this store.

 Given its size, this store has a wide selection of things for sale. They are similar to Big Lots, but only sell food. They wound up with a lot of America's Choice products last Winter.

Part of the checkout area has been carved out for an office. The wooden beams in the ceiling are original. I wouldn't be surprised if those checkout lights were left over as well.

 Inside, it retains a lot of A&P artifacts, particularly in the ceiling. The various heights are all original. The lighting is also left over from A&P, although they have been retrofitted for LED bulbs.

 Despite all of the bizarre modifications done to this store, it is still somewhat recognizable as a former A&P. I believe the roof pitch on the dormer matches that of the peaks these sores had in front. The brackets under the porch are also original.

 Giant, Pottstown, PA
A nighttime return to the 2010-built Pottstown Giant.

 Unlike Phoenixville, this store only got a coffee counter instead of a full-service department. Either way, these are being phased out for Starbucks.

 Marketplace Café. This serves the coffee stand and a la carte.

Pumpkin Spice K-Cups. Keep in mind, these pictures were taken last October. It seems like everyone was caught up in a pumpkin spice craze. I think Giant took it a little too far.

 Looking along the back of the store from the Seafood/A La Carte departments.

 Meats department.

 Butcher Shoppe. The tile pattern certainly seems stuck in the 90's. I think that part of the design was carried over from the first version of the Fun House décor.

 Back of the store, looking at Dairy.

They had lots of Halloween displays set up at the time I visited.

 Bakery department. Giant had not done their reconfiguration here yet. They still have the original cases in place.

 Checkouts and customer service.

 I don't think most Giants have a kitchenware aisle quite this big.

 Salad bar in front of produce. Even though the produce area did get reconfigured, they hadn't replaced the lights like they usually would. I'm guessing we may have stopped here before they were done.

 Pumpkins were being sold in the produce department. I guess they technically are a fruit. :/

Organic. In case you were wondering, I wasn't able to find any of those sausages here.

Home Depot Garden CenterI realized I was missing a picture of the garden center when I was uploading my last set of photos from this store.

 Granite Run Mall
Roadside sign. I'm curious to see whether or not they will reuse this for the new shopping center.

 Under the carport at JCP. The windows may be covered over with a tarp for asbestos removal. I can't think of any other reason it would be blocked off, since the building's fate had been decided long before Penney's ever closed.

 JCPenney left behind a truck. I think this was still there while the building was coming down.

 I think this leads to mall offices.

 I had heard rumors that the doors were still unlocked, even though there was nothing left inside. I soon found out that this was (unfortunately) not true.

This mall was closed for several months before anything even started to be done.

 Zoomed-out view. It appears there is still electricity going towards this portion of the mall, since the directory is still lit up.

 It appears that salvage crews are rooting through the mall, getting what they can. I think that pile of wood is flooring from the store behind it.

At this point, the only stores left open in the main mall building are Sears and Boscov's. Demolition did not begin until this past spring, which I got plenty of pictures of!

 Another mall office hallway. It appears to be used for storage now. It looks like there used to be a room to the right, that was opened up then walled off again.

 Boscov's is one of the stores that will be staying. This was originally Gimbel's, and Stern's for a brief period after that.

Looking across the front of the mall. Boscov's is to the left of me, Sears to the right

 Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday!

I have been waiting to say that since I took this picture.

 This was the entrance on the other side of Boscov's. The entrance we looked in on Tuesday was on the second floor, while this is on the first.

 I thought it was a cool view looking up into that entrance awning..? I don't know what to call this.

 The sun glare makes it hard to see inside this one.

 Looking inside the Ruby Tuesday. I really hope they salvaged some stuff out of here. Some of this is too nice to let go to waste.

 Former bar. I think this was a T.G.I. Friday's at one point, but it has been vacant since 2007. The last tenant was something along the lines of "The American Bar & Grille". Whatever it was, it must have been a chain.

 Looks like they had an auction shortly after closing. I wish I knew about that before it happened!

 Looking inside the entrance next to JC Penney. I see a light on inside, which makes me think that all the lights were actually on, but burned out. When I was here before they closed, easily 3/4 of the lights were flickering or burnt out entirely. I think they probably gave up on maintenance a while ago.

 Sears Auto Center is still open by some miracle. The Kohl's behind it was originally Clover.

 Entrance 5 and Peking Restaurant

 Temporary power poles are set up in the parking lot to keep the lights going while the mall is coming down.

 The entrance next to Peking. Unfortunately, the interior doors were closed, and the reflection blocked any view of the inside.

 Inside, it looks like they have started dismantling whatever was on the wall next to me.

Back on the uphill side, there are still some mall cop cars parked here. Once demolition started, they were used to circle the property to keep people out. I learned that from experience.

 Sears, Exton Mall
This was built in 2000 as an expansion to the Exton Mall. There was talk of this store being shut down a few years ago, but I think between Kmart getting kicked out of the mall and the JC Penney closing, they changed their minds. This store actually is being repainted right now!

In the other direction, we can see what I believe to be the only exterior section of the mall that was not touched in the 2000 remodel/expansion.

 A bridge connects the parking garage with the second floor entrance to Sears. Fairfield Plaza can be seen in the distance.

 Shoe department, looking towards one of the exterior entrances.

 Upstairs is better organized, being split between hardware, appliances, and housewares. I usually do most of my Christmas shopping here.

 Freshly painted Levi's department.

 This store's only mall entrance is on the second floor, since it is built into a hill on the one-story corner of the mall (Weird layout, okay?)

 I think this area is being cleaned out in preparation for repainting.

I don't think we can call the downstairs portion organized by department anymore. It is just clothing everywhere, with a shoe and jewelry aisle lost in here somewhere. This blue and red paint is part of that remodel I was referring to yesterday.

 The mall entrance. I got tired of waiting for that guy to move so I took the picture anyway. He stayed there for about 15 minutes.

Strawbridge's/Macy's, Exton Mall

For as modern as the Exton Mall is now, the Macy's is still (not surprisingly) a time capsule back to 1974. I love how this store looks, so I usually try to snag a couple pictures whenever I walk through. I have more coming up soon!

 Genuardi's/Keller's, Audubon, PA
Notice the Genuardi's logo has been scraped off the cart. Keller's put new stickers on top of them.

 Genuardi's décor is still totally intact, albeit repainted.

 Weis/Ollie's, Pottstown, PA
Weis opened up shop here in 1960, and moved out in 1995. The replacement store closed in October 2013. This building originally would have looked something like this.

 Well this is sure a long way from home. This certainly looks old enough to be a remnant of Kroger's brief presence in Pennsylvania, although none of those stores were in the eastern part of the state.

 These look a little new to have been here since 1995. My guess is they came from the replacement store's closure.

 The food department was pretty limited, but I was able to find some remaining A&P merchandise. More on that tomorrow!

 Ollie's standard creepy signage.

 This was the bakery and meats area. Ollie's must have been trying to get a somewhat uniform ceiling height in removing this.

 This was a hallway leading to the back rooms. Ollie's took out the drop ceiling, but kept the lights.

 Ramp leading up to the other part of the store. I don't know what Weis would have used this space for. It must have been incredibly inconvenient to get to.

There is a portion of the store on the side with an elevated floor. Based on the ceiling, it appears to have been another store Weis expanded into at one point.

 This was the Customer Service area. This was the only one of the service departments left intact after Ollie's moved in.

 And neither have the bathrooms! I would guess these haven't changed since 1960.

 Something tells me this has been sitting around for a while. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, considering that they have VHS tapes here.

 What I got from Ollie's. That box has a lot of tea in it. I figure it will last us a couple years. XD

 Plymouth Meeting Mall
Originally a Lit Bros, this opened with the mall in 1966. Boscov's opened up here in the mid-90's.

 Looking over the fountain in front of Macy's, which was originally Strawbridge's. You can see what this area originally looked like here.

 This sign was for the food court, written in the style of their old logo. I'm not sure why they left it when the logo was updated. This mall is very healthy, so it would make sense to invest some money in keeping it updated. Update: The sign was removed when the Legoland construction began.

 I think the interior of the mall was redone in the 80's and again in the late 90's.

 A section of tree cut when the mall was built. The tag on one of the outer rings mentions Strawbridge's partnering with a developer, pioneering construction of this mall.

 This picture came out nicely actually! This hallway bears a strong resemblance to the Exton Mall, which isn't surprising, considering that they have the same owner.

 Comics And More store. I was trying to get a picture of the neon, but it washed out. :P I took a look inside here, and they definitely have more than comics. It is basically a nerd's paradise. I wouldn't mind coming back here!

 Walmart, Exton, PA

I was unable to get a exterior picture while I was here, so I will have to direct you to my original photo.

The Subway/Auntie Anne's is new. The McDonald's here closed in 2013, and Subway actually relocated a store here the following year. This replaced a Subway near the former Exton ACME.

This store has been the scene of several newsworthy happenings (read: robberies), some of which were more funny than scary. Here's an article about a true "People of Walmart" experience!

 The actionways here seem a little wider than they are at most other Walmarts I have shopped at. It gives the store a nice open feel.

 There used to be an appliance section in the area to the left, which was moved during Project Impact. I was at this store for their grand opening in 2002. The appliance section is the only memory I have of the original layout, my only memory aside from that of the Grand Opening was that the greeters were giving out foam balls with Smiley on them. I was only three at the time, so I'm impressed I remember that much!

This store is usually very busy. The only reason I was able to get these mostly people-free shots was because I was here at 8 PM on Christmas Eve doing some last minute present shopping. From the looks of it, at least three other people were doing the same.

 Baby department, in its full project impact glory.

New orange pickup signage is the closest this store has come to a remodel since it's halfhearted project impact repaint. The lack of investment in this store leads me to believe they are planning on expanding to a Supercenter. Kennett Square was originally a twin to this store, but was expanded in 2012.

 Electronics counter. I don't think those spotlights have been used in years.

 There seems to be a lot of big name artists listed on the $5 music bin. That price seems to be a little less than they should be -not that I'm complaining though! I think it might be a clearance bin.

 Vision Center, behind the gift-wrapped register lights.

 I like their Christmas decorations. This day counter shows just how close I was cutting it with my shopping.

Vintage Walmart BagOur Walmart must never use the small bags. The bagging carousel on every register has these old logo bags hanging on the small hooks. They have been like this for years, so I doubt they will be going away anytime soon. Naturally, I had to take one for myself, just in case.

 Food Fair/Weis, Lancaster, PA
Produce department. I really like the produce spotlights here. They light up the food, but they're not cluttering up the ceiling like the hanging fixtures did.

 Deli and Seafood island, separating produce from the rest of the store. This was put in in the 90's, as can be seen in the Pottstown store. I was thinking the discontinuity in ceiling height was the result of the expansion, but it looks like Pottstown had the same thing.

Hispanic food section. This must come in all remodels now, since Lancaster doesn't have a very high Hispanic population. That being said, they wouldn't be stocking sugarcane if it didn't sell.

Another unusual aspect of this store was the choice in music. I was here early on a Saturday morning, and was greeted by "Ballroom Blitz" being played at a considerably high volume.

 Butcher shop, still sporting the 90's tile.

 To get to the restrooms you had to pass through the back rooms, which don't appear to have been touched by Weis.

 This store felt surprisingly modern inside. I believe when it was expanded/remodeled in the 90's, they gutted out most of the sales floor. The later remodel was more of just a décor swap, but it still feels clean and new.

 Customer Services counter. The counter itself appears to be left over from the 90's.

 This was my attempt at trying to take an artsy photo.

 This signage must be left over from the 90's. Herr's simplified their logo about 15 years ago.

 Much like A&P did, Weis carries store-brand merchandise for pretty much everything (except in the pharmacy it would seem!) Seeing that both Weis and Utz are based in Lancaster County, it is nice to see them partnering for some products. I imagine most stores don't have store-brand chips, let alone of this quality!

 Seasonal department still has some Christmas merchandise left.

 Weis seems to have a lot of miniature carts. I remember Wegman's used to have these, but they disappeared not long after they started.

This opened in the 50's as a Food Fair, which was sold to Weis in the late 70's. Weis recently remodeled (a really nice store inside!). It appears that even though the awning was repainted (Originally it was green), they kept the original signage. The yellow plastic was swapped out with red, but the letters themselves are the same.

 Changes Underway at Exton Giant
First thing I noticed- the lights in the vestibule had been changed!

Giant also installed a Scan It machine. With this, you can scan and bag your products as you shop, which will save time at the register in the end. I have yet to try this out, but I really like the concept. My one concern is that it seems like it would make it very easy to steal stuff.

 Walmart, Pottstown, PA
This store opened in 1995 as a pylon-style Wal-Mart, which was expanded into a supercenter in 2013. They did a good job covering up the store's history in front, although it is obvious where the new part begins inside.

"Cheap Impact" décor, unfortunately. The store is very shallow, but it makes up for that in length.

 Transition between old and new. I was surprised to see the tile floor continue into the new area.

 Clothing, with a wooden floor. I think this flooring was around before the remodel.

 This store had a slightly confusing layout, with aisles facing in all sorts of directions.

 This is about the entire length of the addition.

 Dairy section. I liked how the floors weren't cluttered with displays here. The wide aisles also help.

 Looking along the right side of the store, towards the front. The addition was actually deeper than it was wide, the opposite of the original building.

 This part of the store was added on in 2013. It is a fairly small addition, although it is big enough to house a decent grocery selection.

 Bakery. I never understood why they kept the drop ceiling going over the shelving here.

 Deli. It looks really nice, considering how this is the "Cheap Impact" look. The hanging lights were a nice touch.

 Subway/Auntie Anne's combination. Exton also has one of these, although my understanding is that this is a rare restaurant combination.

 Customer Service and Pickup share a counter here. This is a much more convenient location than the back of the store, where most have it.

There's a hair salon and vision center to the left, one set of restrooms (This store has two), and Customer service in the front of the store.

Electronics and entertainment. Those little blue signs are a first for me.

 Westtown SuperFresh Card
Another auction find from under the shelves. I already had one from Lionville, but it is not in the best shape. 16+ years under a shelf has kept this one in top condition!

Westtown was store #312. I think the "3" meant Pennsylvania stores, since Lionville was #377, and I doubt there were that many SuperFresh's.

This was my big purchase from the Westtown Giant auction. Got it for $10. I didn't post it yet because I was waiting until I finished building a stand for it. What's funny is that I have a picture of this same light, in the store, captioned with how much I wanted one of these. 

I have some updated demolition photos I hope to put up tomorrow. There's not much left now.

And with this, my Flickr page is now 1,000 photos exactly!
