New Grocery Stores in Sault

This summer has seen the upgrades of two Sault stores that offer groceries. Walmart closed their one store to open a Super Walmart that is open 24/7. They have been so busy that I haven't wanted to shop there. I did once and found it overwhelming.

Another pleasant surprise was the upgraded Soo SuperValu located on the corner of Easterday and Ashmun. That site has a great tradition of grocery shopping. It is the location of the Soo A & P which dominated Soo shopping for decades.

We shopped SuperValu tonight and found it clean, well-laid out and with very helpful staff. They had many special deals including watermelon for $2.99. We are getting ready for an invasion of grandkids for the week and got stocked up. I definitely will be returning there for their weekly specials. You can click here for their Weekly Ad. I'll add specials as I find out about them.

New Walmart Opens Today

Sault Ste. Marie will host the ribbon cutting of a brand new Walmart Supercenter this morning. The store is located on the I-75 Business Loop and can also be entered off of 3 Mile Road. The new store is much larger than the previous store and will be open 24 hours a day.

I remember when the F. W. Woolworths opened their new store around 1964 in Sault Ste. Marie. I was one of the first customers after the ribbon cutting. My grandmother worked at the store as the cook and I was very excited about the new store. Several years later, I began working at the Woolworth's lunch counter as a waitress. I worked there for 2 summers. Never had a day as a waitress that I liked. But it did teach me that I had better pursue another career.
