Los Angeles is a mecca for supermarket history enthusiasts, but one that is on some level very difficult to study. City directories for the area are fragmented and incomplete, and there will most likely never be a definitive and full location list on this site.
The communities featured in this section are all within Los Angeles County. There is a separate page for Orange County.
