I moved this page to change the title to Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets which is the way the company's title was styled during its time in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area. I was also concerned that the subject of this article not be confused with a company or with companies using a similar name (South Africa?) and styled Pick 'n Pay.

I removed the link formerly used for the Stop-N-Shop name at the end of the first paragraph because the link incorrectly directed the reader to a WP article on the Stop & Shop chain in New England. The Stop-N-Shop Association of Cleveland, referenced in this article as a competitor of Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets, Inc., was a buying and marketing cooperative which lasted from the late '50's until it and its component companies were purchased by Giant Eagle of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the late '80's. Stop-N-Shop never reached out beyond the Northeast Ohio area. The Stop & Shop to which the removed link formerly pointed was a New England chain which ultimately became one of Ahold USA's North American properties. This company never reached out into Ohio.

I have removed the orphan banner for this article. The article is now linked by entries in the articles List of defunct retailers of the United States and Finast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NorthCoastReader (talkcontribs) 04:04, 21 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
