Last updated on 30 April 2025.
This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Guelph, Ontario from 1922-2020, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. There may be some omissions due to incomplete or missing data, etc. and I welcome suggestions and corrections.
Please read about my methodology for more information about what I do and do not include.
Notes
- The entries from 1970-2005 may miss some chains due to the organization of the Vernon city directories from that point on. I have made the listings as complete as I can.
