Lafayette is one of the most interesting in supermarket history, because at one given time or another, all of the major chains below have had a presence here, though some more limited than others:
- Albertsons (and Skaggs)
- Kroger (neighborhood 60's, Superstore AND Family Center, plus a Greenhouse for adequate confusion)
- A&P
- National/Canal Villere/The Real Superstore
- Weingarten, and by later acquisition, Safeway
- Delchamps
- Winn-Dixie
- Piggly Wiggly
- Kmart (both Kmart Foods/Allied and a Super Kmart Center)
- Walmart, which now includes a closed Supercenter (No boos from the crowd, please)
I'll be working on this over the next few weeks; I'm pretty excited about it. If it works well, I may also do Longview, TX, which doesn't quite have the long list, but it is storied.
