Last updated on 25 July 2025.
This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Greater Utica between 1925 and 2020, 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
- I am very uncertain about some of the points on Commercial Drive and Seneca Turnpike as both have been significantly renumbered. I will need to do some additional research on those when I can get my hands on the more recent directories.
- I also did not have access to newspapers to use as a cross-check.
- Corrections welcome, particularly for the rows with notes highlighted in yellow.
