Unity-Frankford's were individually-owned but were supplied by the Frankford Grocery Company - a wholesaler.
Its warehouse was at Unity and Griscom Streets in the Frankford section of Philadelphia.
The house brands were designated 'Unity' after the warehouse's location.
"There was a time when you could not walk down the street in almost any neighborhood in Philadelphia without seeing a Unity-Frankford Grocery store sign."
There are still a few Unity-Frankford signs still mounted on the building face of small corner stores in Northeast Philly.
