48 Photos Depicting What American Grocery Stores Looked Like Throughout the Decades

While today, people in New York City might shop in stores like Key Food or Stop ‘n Shop, back in 1945, Bohack was a favorite New York City grocery chain from 1887 to 1977. It’s a nostalgic journey for anyone who recalls shopping in these stores throughout the mid-20th century.

Bohack wasn’t just an NYC staple but also had a presence in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Its fame also reached pop culture, with a notable appearance in The Odd Couple, featuring Felix shopping at the Bohack on 87th and 2nd before a memorable date.
