Toronto Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1915-2023

This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in what is now Toronto between 1915 and 2023, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. It is generated through a live Google Spreadsheet so it reflects the latest and most complete information I have. These are taken from Toronto city directory listings.

Notes:

  • Entries from 1970-1986 on may have some omissions as the Toronto city directories during these years did not include a full grocery classification.
  • Entries from 2006-2007 are taken from telephone directories, newspaper archives, and by extrapolation and may also have some omissions.
