Last updated on 28 May 2025.
This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in northern Jackson County KS (including Overland Park, Shawnee, and Mission) between 1955 and 1991, 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 and related material
- See the full Kansas City Area page (with map)
- No directories seem to exist before 1955.
- I will be adding post-1991 listings but it may be a bit.
