Not a lot of updates the past few months due to a lot of things going on at work and several trips. But I am still working on some major updates to Cincinnati and New Jersey, and I have also just returned from a trip to Michigan and Ohio, and I stopped by the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne to collect a huge amount of data for many forthcoming updates.
New pages since the last update (in addition to ongoing work):
- Santa Fe chain grocery/supermarket locations 1930-2020
- Wheeling WV chain grocery/supermarket locations, 1926-2024
- Parkersburg WV chain grocery/supermarket locations, 1926-2001
(Photo above is a former A&P/Kroger location on North Main Street in Dayton.)
I’ve been working on a big New Jersey update following my recent trip. Look for it soon!
For now, some new Georgia lists:
- Columbus GA chain grocery/supermarket locations, 1925-2024
- Augusta GA cgain grocery.supermarket locations, 1925-2024
New pages:
- Safeway in New York City, 1939-1964
I was very excited about this one because I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to pull it off. It covers the whole run of the chain in NYC (1941-1961) and includes its predecessors (Daniel Reeves and National Grocery Co) and successor (First National/Finast). - Cedar Rapids IA, 1925-2020

Major update adding more that two decades and hundreds of new locations. There are still some issues (read the notes on the page) but this is a biggie!
