I noticed you had on here the Ames in Southampton, Agawam, and Southwick but there was also one in Westfield as well which closed around 1996. It was on Rt 20 headed in towards town in a shopping center called Westgate Plaza. Currently an Ocean State Job Lot and a Staples occupy that space. It's on its 3rd re-incarnation since Ames. It was an Edwards Supermarket for awhile, then a Stop & Shop, and now it's what's mentioned above.
This store did not close for the lack of business. It was busy a lot of the time but not one of their larger locations - the one in Southwick was much bigger. This was an old-school one as well. For the longest time this store had the really old-school block lettering on the front of it. Resembling the A font you showed in that one particular store in Great Barrington. They eventually changed over to the current logo but it was way after the other ones did.
Truth be told I always thought Caldor was way better than Ames. It just seemed like they had better stuff and it wasn't as grimey looking.

The home office is 2 stores combined. The one to the right was a Finest Supermarket, can't remember the one on the left. The small building across the parking lot was a bank where a majority of us cashed our checks. I left in 86 prior to the Zayre buy out which to many was the company's demise.
