Original Stop & Shop Location

 I didn't realize until I saw this from the Herald that S&S started in Somerville.

"In its 94th year since the Rabinovitz family founded Economy Grocery Stores Co. in Somerville, the chain of 389 stores now known as Stop & Shop is refreshing its look."

Does anyone know where the original store was and/or where any of the other S&S stores were prior to the one they built at the old Somerville Lumber site?  

I find it odd they didn't have any Somerville locations for a number of years.

Yep, I remember that one. Also, the Whole Foods at Fresh Pond Mall used to be a Stop & Shop.

In Boston, at least two other Stop & Shop locations were replaced by Whole Foods: the one by Symphony Hall, and the one in Charles River Plaza (Cambridge Street).
