Bon Foods

Did this building become Frank's nursery?

I remember shopping there when it was Frank's Nursery.

Yes, this became Frank's nursery. It was the only grocery store around for years until Giant was built.

I worked there in 1978. Picture brings back a lot of fond memories. I believe the store manager was a gentleman named "Fred". The Vice President of Operations for Bon Foods was Gus Thodos (Mr. Gus) whom I had worked for in one of their stores in Quantico Town in 1976 & 1977. Mr. Gus as many of us called him was one of the best people I've ever worked for. And the owners of Bon Foods, Daniel Bondruff & his wife (Mr. & Mrs. B) as we called them were truly good people and was a pleasure to have known them. Thank you for making this photo available to all.

My name is Glenn Morefield I worked for Gus and team for a few years in Fredericksburg Virginia, Stafford VA on route 610 and in northern VA. Under Mike Gum fantastic manager, had really good managers back then was glad to be part of the team for a few years thanks for the picture Glenn Morefield
