Wilson Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1925-2015

Last updated on 30 April 2025.

This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Wilson between 1925 and 2015, 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

  • Wilson’s system of numbering and compass-point directions is baffling and exasperating, particularly since it has changed so much over time, so some of these addresses, (particularly the ones on Ward Boulevard) may be a bit off. I did what I could.
  • There is a listing for a Yellow Front store on Nash Street. Pender’s stores used this name at some points, but I suspect this one was not related to the chain. I do not know for sure.
