They're still around but not with their "IGA" oval logo out front (like 
the one of my youth in the Town-a-Dracut on Lakeview Ave growing up. It 
was across from the junior high school building. IIRC, snow caved in the 
ceiling and then it sold-out.

Today, it operates much like the Tru-Value and other hardware stores do 
as affiliations.

IGA is a sponsor of Red Sox Radio.  At least here in Vermont there seem 
to be rotating tags on a co-op spot on WDEV (550//96.1), one including 
Greg's Meat Market (6-8 aisle market) in Middlebury that I heard the 
other day. Caught me by surprise.
