Value Drugs / CVS / A&P, Sayville, NY
This former A&P Centennial store on Long island is now split between Value Drugs and Scottrade. Value Drugs took over 11,500 sq. ft. of the former supermarket, which included space which was vacated by CVS in 2015 when it built a replacement store nearby.
Value Drugs is an 8-store, family-owned drugstore chain--the type that used to exist all over the US--before they were all swallowed up by larger and larger competitors. Value Drug stores are all located in the suburbs of New York City and some of the building reuses are very familiar, as with this former A&P supermarket. Another is housed in a former Eckerd store.
This A&P was probably closed during the 1990's, following A&P's purchase of the Long Island-based Waldbaum's chain. There was a large Waldbaum's store about 3 miles from here in Oakdale.
