Greensboro Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1910-2020

Last updated on 16 September 2025.

This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Greensboro between 1910 and 2020, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. Although some suburban locations may be included, it is not meant to cover all suburban stores in the area. 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

  • The city directories from 2000 do not reflect the 1999 Kroger/Harris Teeter store swap, which occurred in June of that year.
  • There may be missing and inaccurate locations from the Bi-Rite co-op.
