This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Vallejo between 1930 and 1980, 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

• Fairfield directories for 1950 and 1955 were not available. Newspaper ads were used for these years.
