    I see more Albertsons Owned stores in the future with the Jewel Osco, and also a new Hy-Vee will be nice Mid west store addition to the game.

    Pretty solid selection of building props.  I hope stores like Ulta, Five Below, or even a new variation of Famous Footwear or Mattress Firm comes out for 1.5. 

    Well done.

    Eventually, but yeah my thought was for the midwest to get some attention.

    This architecture (designed by A&P) can be found quite frequently being reused around the country. I figured it would make for a great style of shopping center and since it was originally a supermarket, why not have it still be one? Hence, Save a Lot.

    It reminds me of the old Benny’s discount stores in New England and some of the old Market Baskets. 😀 🛒

    I haven't seen a standalone SaveALot here in Florida. They've just replaced part of WalMarts, Publix, or Winn Dixies in strip malls after the original store has moved on. 

    i really like this building.

    I had a feeling it would be a Save a Lot! There is one near me that almost looks like this one. I love it!! I really like the details with the marketing in the windows, it really brings it to life! I’m excited for this! I’m also curious what other businesses will be in this complex.

    The Save-A-Lot is also good as a stand-alone store.  I passed one in Greensboro, MD and one in Lancaster, PA during a weekend visit with my father.

    There's a standalone Save-A-Lot in North College Hill, a Cincinnati borough, that I drive by on occasion. Obviously more modern due to it being recently built. I wouldn't think the ones in former A&Ps would be standalone considering those stores were anchors for plazas most of the time.

    Keep up the good work RR!

    There is a standalone Save-a-lot in Dearborn, MI. Not too far from where I live.

    Going to take a breather for the weekend, but here's a few models I've completed recently:

    Also, this should help explain why there was no Meijer V2 gas pumps....

    I do not plan to do anything further with HEB, at this time at least. I'm aware they have a convenience format, but it's more like a truckstop than a gas station. If you look at my V2 gas canopy models, brands (such as Albertsons and Walmart) that do not have a gas island are the ones I have already made or plan to make a standalone convenience building of. I put some research into this and tried to mimic whatever style of gas canopy a company uses. In the case of Kroger, I did two styles as both seem to be equally used.

    I may make a V3 for Safeway in some form though as my OCD is kicking me for not doing it. It could follow the style Meijer uses above, but we shall see.

    Behold! A new series of packs begins with this upload. It might be a while before a second pack is added though....

    I also want to mention that Getgo by Giant Eagle was purposely left out of this pack. I plan to upload that by itself as it is more like Sheetz in size- and I haven't started it yet.
