Me too. Then it really came in handy when I had my kids- we went thru a lot of pathmark brand diapers. Still miss their no frills granola. There used to be a pathmark in upper Darby too.

Yup there were several in Delco. My mom did most of our grocery shopping at the Brookhaven pathmark. I think it’s a Shoprite now

I just saw a PathMark truck yesterday. Are they still around? Biggest memory for me is their no frills brand. Classic pure white box with generic labeling on it.

Wow that's crazy. They used to be the big shop in town in the 90's.

Doubt it but we can hope.

The Canadian version.

My family used to shop at the one in Warminster, Bucks County. 90's sounds about right for when it disappeared here as well.

Yep. I remember that one distinctly.

Fuck, I grew up with a pathmark down the road. Nothing beat their fried chicken, it was the highlight of my, unhealthy, childhood

nice two tone chevette.
Hazel1928 t1_jci3s9m wrote
My husband and I had a Chevette in the 1980s. It was like the cheapest Chevette. We called it the comrade model. It had a glove compartment with no door. And there was no vinyl padding on tje insides of the doors, just metal. And I don’t think there was any carpet on the floor, I think that was metal too.
dav3y_jon3s t1_jci44a0 wrote
Damn that is like base base model. I've had a few over the years and they all had carpet and glove box doors lol.
Hazel1928 t1_jci4akj wrote
Yeah. We got a kick out of calling it the comrade model. The USSR was still a thing.
dav3y_jon3s t1_jci4lsy wrote
That is funny. Deff makes sense. I always thought the yugo looked pretty comradish.

Grew up going to the one in Camp Hill
Jonrah98 t1_jchowzg wrote
I seem to remember it being there for quite awhile. Over ten years? I know it was there in the mid-70s. It was next to a KMart.
jpn4575 t1_jckf8ls wrote
Yeah, it was there by the late 70s, I think, and through the 80s.

Pathmark was our usual grocery store in South Jersey. So many of my friends worked there in high school. My sisters and I would get the $1 hot dog and soda combo while our dad shopped. Memories!
Pineconeweeniedogs t1_jciql5u wrote
I remember eating those hotdogs while shopping with my mom there too!
Berkyjay t1_jchsysa wrote
Oh yeah. I remember my family having to drive from Spring Grove into the West York Delco Plaza to get groceries. Thinking back on it, that seems like a long way to go for groceries.

Where was the one in Lower Paxton? I remember going to one as a kid but cannot remember where it was. I assume somewhere off Jonestown Rd/22?
jpn4575 t1_jckf4qh wrote
It was next to the KMart, which is now At Home, by the Best Buy, which used to be a Weis. Across from Giant, which used to be Hills, which is next to… a flooring store? Which used to be Giant. Also near the Hobby Lobby. Which also used to be Giant.
dcowboy t1_jckho7q wrote
Lol, I do remember the Weis and Hills.
Pineconeweeniedogs t1_jciqcha wrote
Yeah, I think maybe where the state store and LA fitness is now? Or maybe I‘m thinking of a different grocery store that was there…
dcowboy t1_jcir2rc wrote
Shit, I kind of remember there being an LA Fitness, but not where it was. Google Maps needs a time machine.
NewYork_NewJersey440 t1_jcikx71 wrote
My understanding is the one in Camp Hill became the 2nd location for the Camp Hill Giant. It explains why that store was so different than any other Giant. The current Camp Hill Giant is the 3rd incarnation of the Camp Hill Giant.
I was very young but I vaguely remember the first location being where the Penn State Health building is near 30th Street.
I miss the Camp Hill mall as an indoor mall.
Flimsy-Lie-1471 t1_jcjmv1l wrote
That sounds about right. The Giant now is where monkey wards was.
Susbirder t1_jck6fio wrote
Correct. The Giant used to be on the other side of the bypass and Market Street, behind Friendly's. The Pathmark was tucked back behind the Camp Hill Shopping Center (aka Camp Hill Mall for a while), where LA Fitness now stands. When Pathmark left, Giant moved in, and then when Montgomery Ward departed, Giant refurbed that space and moved to where they now stand.
Another trivia bit (correct me if I'm wrong): The space the Giant lives in, before it was Montgomery Ward, was a Korvette's, which closed in 1980.

I lived in NJ until 2000. I worked for Pathmark for 23 years at various locations! When I moved to PA, there was one in Walnutport PA. It's a shame that they went out of business.

Wasn't there a big one on Gray's Ferry Avenue where the Fresh Grocer is now?
Edit: yup, and not even that long ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/philadelphia/comments/3pwk3i/grays_ferry_pathmark_begins_liquidations_will/
