Supermarket history question

nj2nh · 01-18-2023, 05:46 PM

I read today that the building that houses Hunter’s market was built about 50 years ago. I can remember it as the only supermarket around. Where did people do their grocery shopping before that market came into being?

My parents always brought tons of food when we came up for our requisite two weeks in July. I had assumed anything they needed came from Hunters. Apparently not. It was a staple of my childhood and I am terribly saddened by its loss.

Anyone know?
