This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Salisbury between 1929 and 1995, 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
- Salisbury is the home of Food Lion, founded by the same family that owned Ketner’s (which was acquired by Winn-Dixie).
