| Additional Information: | Robert and Marie Krueger operated a non-extant Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company grocery store at 251 South Knowles Avenue from 1927 to 1947. The store, the largest in New Richmond at the time, joined the Super Valu conglomerate in 1947 at the same location. A new Super Valu grocery store, owned by the Krueger family, was constructed at 144 West Third Street in 1960. In 1965, the couple’s son, Robert W. Krueger took over management of the business. The Contemporary style store was remodeled with a bakery addition in 1973. |
