I remember the Providence location. They used to roll the groceries outside on a metal conveyor belt.

1692Keith really? I remember the Smithfield location had this shelf in the front where you could bag your groceries

1692Keith, was that Murry St? I worked there 1972-1980. Loved working for Almacs. And it was called the Partial Pick-up. I think the name was inapropriate unless it was when you only got 2 boxes instead of 3 (missing some bags of groceries)...oops😄😝😂

Almacs was the worst run company I ever worked for. Joe Burkel and his son Ronnie stole millions from Almacs and went back to California and enhanced their standings with their Yuciapa company leaving many moms and dads without a job. I was fortunate to gain employment with Stop & Shop in 1994... ...

Almacs was RI.

[@m.e.d.7997]
