Bakersfield Area

Last updated on 30 April 2025.

Bakersfield is the southernmost and smallest of the major cities in California’s Central Valley, but it has an interesting chain supermarket history, including Safeway, Piggly Wiggly, A&P, Mayfair Markets, Albertsons, Thriftimart, and Alpha-Beta. Several local chains, including Young’s and Green Frog Emporium have also been players.

Bakersfield’s history is actually one of the most interesting of any city in California. I hope to complete a comprehensive history at some point in the future.
