Last updated on 30 April 2025.
This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Calgary between 1930 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
- This is a test layout designed to make the location lists more accessible to non-desktop users and also to enhance search capabilities.
- I was not able to access city directories between 1953 and 1968; the 1960 listings are from newspaper ads and some chains may not be represented.

Well done! What a wonderful historic database. Obviously a lot of work went into this. Note – the 740 Northmount Dr NW Safeway was in operation at least from 1968, the 1405 4th St Safeway store I worked in as the Sony store in the early 1980s, it retained it’s basement cold storage and conveyor belt even then, extraordinarily austere basement. Again, brilliant work, respectfully it’s cool being a history nerd! I shall share this with like minded friends.
Good job.
The Food Giant you show at 5111 Northland Dr NW was originally an IGA in the 70’s.
No mention of Allwest. I wonder whatever happened to them?
Thanks for all the kind words, which I somehow missed until I came in to do some updates tonight. I’ve added listings from 1960 pulled from newspaper ads and also done soem additional Food City and IGA locations. The Northmount Dr Safeway was indeed open earlier, but was listed in its early years as 11 Cambrian Place. I’ve noted that now. Thanks again all!
Hello my brother’s first job was as a meat cutter at AllWest on 33rd Ave SW in the late 1970’s. It was his first full time adult job and I do remember shopping there when I first moved out. Cheers
