Commenter Ray recently chimed in with more on Pathmark and its No Frills brand, which is now merged with A&P.
He writes, “Yeah I remember the good times with Pathmark. We too had The Pathmark and No Frills brands all over our house. I still have many Pathmark Brands still around. But as time goes on they get less and less. Yes Pathmark is still around. But is it really Pathmark anymore? Or is it A&P with a Pathmark sign on it? They killed off the famous Pathmark Brand. That is very very sad. And I do indeed miss it and always will.”
I’m wondering where the nearest Pathmark even is! I think there are a couple out in Delaware County, near where my mother-in-law lives, but I don’t know of any closer. Does anyone know, and what else do you remember about Pathmark?
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
My mom always bought Saucy Sue from Pathmark, this amazing apricot spread we used on everything from chicken to mashed potatoes. Saucy Sue had disappeared from our lives when the local Pathmark closed, but Karns just started carrying it!
