Laneco was a supermarket chain operating in eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. Laneco operated four types of stores. The older stores were called Food Lane, which were former Food Fair stores with the least square footage and only carried food products. There were also Laneco's and Laneco SuperCenters. The Clinton, New Jersey store was known as a "Laneco Dept Store", which were much larger than Food Lanes and offered general merchandise. Sam Walton worked with Raymond A. Bartolacci Sr. to develop the Wal-Mart Supercenter. Laneco also operated CR Pharmacies, which were often located in Laneco Supercenters.
