Then & Now: The Old Shop Rite on York Road

Welcome to the first installment of a new weekly feature called Warminster Then & Now.

Each week, an old photograph of the township will be compared with a similar shot taken today. 

Our first photograph was contributed by reader Ann Born, a member of the "I Grew Up in Warminster" Facebook group. Taken in 1970, it is a shot of the Shop Rite grocery store that was located on York Road, across the street from the post office.

Now, 43 years later, the site has been turned into a , with a patch of grass replacing the large parking lot.

If you enjoy this feature and have any vintage photos of Warminster, you can either post them here, or e-mail them to James.Boyle@patch.com.
