This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Chapel Hill and Carrboro between 1957 and 2015, 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.
View and download a copy of this location spreadsheet via Google Sheets.
Note: The locations from 2000 and on are sourced from telephone directories rather than city directories and are more likely to be incomplete.
