This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in St. John’s between 1970 and 2018, 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:
- Dominion Stores began as Ayre’s stores and were purchased by Dominion in 1963. They returned to independent ownership in 1987 and were purchased by Loblaws in 1995. Loblaws continues to use the Dominion brand.
- Apparently, the Save-Easy brand was used on some stores in the 2000s.
- I hope to add pre-1970 locations when I can find data.
Store tags:
