This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Vancouver between 1925 and 1940, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. It is generated through a live Google Spreadsheet so it reflects the latest information I have.

Notes:
- After 1934, city directories no longer include a classified directory for Vancouver, so 1940 is the latest point I feel comfortable including.
- There is indications that OK Stores became Superior Stores (through name change, buyout or something else) around 1940, resulting in some stores being listed under both names.
Store tags:
- B&K
- Consolidated
- Elliott’s
- Kirkhams Groceteria
- London Grocery & Provision
- Model Groceteria
- OK Stores
- Piggly Wiggly
- Red & White
- Safeway
