This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Manteca, Lathrop, and Ripon between 1930 and 1981, 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
- There was no directory coverage for Manteca between 1935 and 1968, and the newspaper archives weren’t much help either. I’ll add more detail someday if I can.
