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

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.

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

RIP Pathmark and Superfresh you will be missed and I'm still not sure if you were two words or one.
