This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in the Ventura/Oxnard area between 1924 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.
Note:
- Santa Paula/Fillmore 1970-71 data is actually from 1973.
