Description
Atwater's Super Duper Supermarket was built in 1965 at the former site of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad freight station.
See Jerry Langdon, "New Atwater's Super Duper To Be Built on West End Site, Ithaca Journal, September 1965, 5.
"[Read ]Wilcox, president-treasurer since 1962 is a fourth generation Atwater. Fred Atwater founded Atwater's downtown in 1898. First location was 320 W State St. Four years later, it went to 117 E State St, and nine years later it moved to 109-111 E State St (Colonial Building). Lack of adequate parking forced Atwater's out of downtown in 1952. Meanwhile, though, another Atwater's had opened at Community Corners. In 1959, Atwater's built a bigger structure at Community Corners."
