Abandoned Save A Lot - Leechburg, Pa

Abandoned Save A Lot - Leechburg, Pa. Closed in Summer 2019, the store really gave no warning about them closing other than becoming low on inventory and having more and more empty shelves. When a local media reporter called to ask about the closing of the store, the lady who answered was unnecessarily rude and hung up on that reporter. No wonder the place went out of business.

There is no obligation and I'm not asking you to! All proceeds go toward expenses involved in travelling to film for you guys. I do not make a profit. Thank you!

Thank you, Wallie, for filming even when you don't feel good! We really appreciate all your content. I never realized how many abandoned place there actually are everywhere. You're the best! :-)

I see that this video was an older one, but wow. It brings back some memories as I grew up in Vandergrift, nearby.
I didn't know where you were at first until you mentioned Fisher's Big Wheel. I'm actually old enough to remember that place and I used to think it brought about the demise of the downtown shopping in Vandergrift ( along with the collapse of the steel industry ).
I remember a winter as a kid with a fun ride in my big sister's boyfriend's 69 Chevelle doing donuts in that snowy parking lot.
The auto parts store used to be a theater and the road that you headed out on took you past the highschool that I graduated from.
I still dream of that town and that area almost 40 years since leaving.
Thanks! 🙂

The Save A Lot in my city closed in June last year, the one near me did announce their liquidation... literally the same day that the Rite Aid Next door announced theirs.

Both still sit vacant to this day

Use to be a a&p in the 80s90s(?). Turned in a shop's save. It was yucky back then freezers never worked right. Always gross.

Our Save-A-Lot in Albany NY ended up closing but didn’t have a note on the door and the sign wasn’t removed until almost a month after it closed. Last time I checked there was a second Albany location but based on all these comments below talking about their closures I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s closed by now, seems to be something still open

There was a Save A Lot near where I live that opened in a subdivided grocery store (which closed in 2008) in Mid-summer 2009. It shut down just before fall of that same year. In 2013, the spot was demolished and it's now a Goodwill, Starbucks, and US Cellular

Wow the plaza sign looks like from the 1970s. You do not see many red roof Pizza Huts anymore.

Finally I heard of something, I used to shop at Save a Lot, it used to be full but as the years go by, the store got emptier and emptier, the last time I went to mine, everyone was gone..!

It’s been closed for a year

Our old Sav A Lot has been abandoned for 3 years now. I went and explored it a few months ago, and was suprised to see the cash registers still in place. And the flat screens on the register poles were not only still on, but they were also still playing the loop of advertisments.

You will appreciate this- there used to be a FOTO HUT in that strip mall- I had many pictures developed there!! Lol!!

Judging from the store's awning, it may have been an A&P supermarket, prior to it's conversion to a Sav-A-Lot. Whenever Sav-A-Lot moves into large store, they wall off the areas to the left and right of the entrance/exit area, and only use the center section, leaving two extra available storefronts. The Lindenwold, NJ Sav-A-Lot is walled off similar to the store you were at in your video, and that too was a former A&P (later rebranded as SuperFresh).

Hope you get to feeling better soon! The Save A Lot by me is disgusting! The store is dingy, filthy and a lot of their product is outdated. I quit shopping there years ago. Wouldn't be sad if they closed. (Millsboro) Thanks for the great video! Stay awesome 😀

Been watching your stuff for a while. The Save A Lot had been Shop 'n Save. Plaza once included a bank, Papa Johns, Curves. A 3 screen cinema was on the site of the AutoZone, which opened when the Casino Theater in Vandergrift closed for good around 1984. Giant Eagle and Kmart were neighbors in Hyde Park Plaza from 1984 to about 2004, with Giant Eagle occupying the place occupied by Family Dollar, Anytime Fitness, Peebles, and the vacant space that housed Olympia Sports for a year or 2. So Giant Eagle and Shop 'n Save / Save A Lot had enough business for both for many years. The McDonnand's was rebuilt on a site that once had both McDonald's and Long John Silver's. The McDonald's sign was placed on the sign post that once had the Long John's sign. Every Peebles is closing and reopening with the name Gellman;'s or Geldman's.


Allegheny Plaza has rotted for years. I think the owner has long hoped to sell to a developer wgo will bulldoze everything and drop a Wal-Mart on the lot. In 2008, when all the cheap money dried up, the hopes of selling were dashed, and they put some fresh paint on the place in hopes of attracting more tenants.

Also went here a lot too, but I didn’t even know this went under! Sad that it’s look like that.

There was an abandoned Save A Lot in Grove City that has recently converted to (part of) Grove City Christian Academy. At least the building is being put to good use! Now if they can do something with the abandoned Rite Aid...
