This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Lumberton between 1938 and 2000, 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
- Bo Abbott established a chain of stores in 1962 that now makes up the Fresh Foods IGA chain.
