In light of the Kroger purchase of Giant Eagle, here's a former Kroger location that became a Giant Eagle decades ago when Kroger exited the area.
There are others, but they have been remodeled to the point they are no longer recognizable as Kroger locations. This one was clearly a Kroger Sav-On location when it opened.
Rushed to the hospital for Heart Failure...
Come cheer on the inevitable here!
I know I've seen this before....
oh wait, it used to be on 107.3 10 years ago!
They really think they can take on 97.5?
It's been this way for over 15 years. The roof used to be painted red, but has been repainted gray in recent years.
I didn't do it...
Believe it or not, this location was built in 2015 As a Roney's!
As you can see, the exterior clearly shows it's a clone of another chain, and it's prior location was in fact a longtime Roy Rogers location on the outskirts of Cincinnati.
The old location was on Roney Lane, so the owners ended up going it their own in 2012 after not renewing their Roy Rogers franchise. So they changed the name to Roney's and modified their old neon sign (seen above) and this survives at their Milford location.
Roy Rogers attempted to come back to the market with several stores, but only one opened in Cleves, and later closed. The franchisor ended up purchasing Roney's and converted the former Cleves location to a Roney's as well. However, it's time as a Roney's was also short-lived, and it closed earlier this year.
Like the Burger Chef clones that live on to this day, Roney's sticks to the classic Roy Rogers menu items and trifecta of burgers, roast beef sandwiches and fried chicken.
He better hope the chuds don't come after him after the Knicks lost tonight....

The PGA Tour (doesn't) need(s) me...
More penises mean more iron!
Well, it's not 9/11, but...
Usually, it's the other way around where Cook Out locations are former other things...
In this case, it's a purpose-built CO location that "closed temporarily"....to be replaced by Mobile's chicken finger juggernaut...
Cook Out still has a location in Auburn in front of the mall, and Foosackly's has another Auburn location as well at Glenn & Dean.
