This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in miscellaneous Hamilton County suburbs of Cincinnati (not including Norwood) between 1940 and 1992, 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. If I find data for later years, I will add it.
