Super Valu Travail

September 28, 1963 Appleton Post-Crescent

 

WIth the coming of a new supermarket on the site of the old Doering's/Ninneman's Super Valu, I found it interesting to look back when the idea was new.  Although the current residents of Menasha eagerly await the reopening of a supermarket on the site of the old market, the original version wasn't so welcome, as evidenced by the above 1963 news article.

 

In late January, 1964, the supermarket opened to much fanfare and served the community for the next 40+ years, eventually closing in March of 2005.
