Last updated on 2 May 2025.

This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in and Burbank (1936-1970), 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.

Note about LA county listings

Unlike most smaller cities, there are basically no consistent and reliable sources for schain listings in Los Angeles County over time. The same is true of New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Please understand that the listings for most of Los Angeles County will always be largely incomplete.

    The piggly wiggly at 243 s san fernando rd was originally a safeway market. Not sure when it became a piggly wiggly. But at least until about 1948 it was a safeway. We shopped there when I was a young child.
