Abandoned Shop N Save - Morgantown, WV. Believed to have closed in 2017, the store has only seen life in the form of a flea market / farmer market in the parking lot and perhaps inside from time to time. Otherwise it sits here decaying although for lease.

This store was always family owned by the same great people. This version of the store is after a major renovation sometime I believe in the 80's. Many great memories of the people who worked and ran the store growing up in WESTOVER. In 1983 my dad passed away while I was in High School and I vividly remember Paul, one of the owners bringing a car full of groceries to our home as a show of support for free. Westover was a wonderful place to grow up and this place was an anchor of the community.

The building is actually located in Westover, which is a "suburb" of Morgantown. The store was a Foodland many years before it became Shop n Save.

I grew up literally right across the street from it and it was never was a Foodland. The Foodland in Westover sat on Dunkard Ave going towards Granville and its burned up in the late late 70's early 80's. The Shop N save was a privately owned one not corporate. Its been closed since the late 90's.

I worked there in 2004-early 2005.. the building was pretty rough even back then. It was my first job, I used to have to push the shopping carts uphill across that lot then into the front entrance. Even in the winter time... it closed in around 2011-'12...

I used to walk to this Shop 'n' Save as a kid and still live down the street from it. It was a family owned store and after it closed there was some fighting between the brothers about what to do with the property. It was originally up for lease for years and years and now it's actually for sale. The building still stands with no occupants. Several years ago, a couple of homeless guys broke in and lived there and ended up starting a fire that had to be put out. It's a cool piece of Westover history but it's becoming an eye sore on the town

I've lived in Morgantown all my life, and this store definitely closed way before 2017- I'd say somewhere between 2009-2012 if my memory serves. I can only vaguely remember shopping there a few times, and it had to have either been before or during my kindergarten year. I was really little but I remember it smelled awful the few times we shopped there haha. I'm in high school now but this old abandoned store has become a major constant for anyone growing up here where it seems there's a new towncentre every week.

Shop 'n Save had stores in the metro St. Louis, metro Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. Owned by Minneapolis-based Supervalu, the chain was liquidated when they got out of the retail business in 2019. About half the St. Louis-area stores were bought by Schnucks, with other chains buying others or the stores went vacant. The Shop n' Save here appears to have an older, different banner or was a franchise for someone else.

They say not to go alone make sure you have a few people if you go. And if you want to read up on it you can look it up online from what I understand it's a true story.

I think they did OK business wise but the building had some issues. overtime the Walmart and Giant Eagle in nearby Granville took a share of their business. I believe they actually closed in 2012

Before the building was built, it was a small family owned grocery store. Mr Brown was the store owner when I was a little girl back in the 60’s. My older brother and sisters used to walk me up to Mr.Browns store and we would trade in pop bottles and buy candy and “Pop” (I usually got an Orange Crush). The owner lived on our street and had a huge garden every summer. He sold his vegetables in the store. We were instructed to stay away from Mr. Browns Garden, and if our ball went into his garden, it would be confiscated and never returned. He did not like children hanging around in his store. I remember him telling me once when I was five that I took too long picking out the candy I wanted and adults did not like little kids hanging around the store. Before he passed away he and his wife decided to sell the store. The Foodland was built and later became Westover Shop and Save. I remember the old store having a wooden floor that creeked with every step. When it rained there were buckets to catch the water that leaked in through the ceiling. On very hot days in summer, the aroma was a smell of vegetables, raw meat, grain, and mildew. I remember when Mom decided to start shopping in Morgantown at the A&P because they had more variety. Good memories.

I grew up in the Westover area, not far from this grocery store. In fact. This is technically considered Westover. But I digress. Actually, I have very vivid memories of shopping here. One summer in particular stands out. I was around 13 or 14 years old, and was sleeping over at a buddies house one night. Anyway, him and I walked up the hill to Shop N' Save, right before closing at 9 pm. Purchased a few dozen eggs to throw at a few neighbor's houses that we didn't like. Good times. 😁

That Shop N Save has been closed up for a few years now. I don't remember exactly when it closed but it kind of shocked me the first time I went by when I saw it was closed up. The other Morgantown area Shop N Save was changed to a Price Cutters. There are two Shop N Saves a little north of there in Fairchance PA and Uniontown PA. The ATM kind of made me chuckle because I remember having to walk to that ATM from about a mile up the road several years back to get cash for getting my windows tinted.
