I do recall white enamel with sloped glass front. That part was well-lit, not so much the rest of the store.

I remember the first Shop-Rite in town that opened in an old Carvel Ice Cream store that had become a used car dealership.

Here's a period piece from one in NJ:

For those not in the know, Shop-Rite is a regional chain begun about 1960.
