Hannaford Opened: ca. 1990s Owner: Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 141 Hannaford Sq, Bennington, VT Photographed: August 9, 2021 Bennington is home to three big-chain grocery stores, a Hannaford and a Price Chopper (plus an ALDI I don't have pictures of). I haven't been inside either, so this post will be quick.

I'm looking forward to seeing what that brings! It's time to visit the newest ShopRite! This store is located in Edgewater Commons, and was built as a Pathmark in 1996. In 2015, it was sold to ACME, and you can see my tour of the ACME here . The 70,000 square foot ACME closed at the end of their lease this summer, having reopened after a couple weeks as an Inserra-owned ShopRite yesterday. I visited in the afternoon, and let me tell you that it was absolutely insane.
