This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Windsor from 1924-2000, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. It is generated through a live Google Spreadsheet so it reflects the latest information I have.
Access and download the location spreadsheet via Google Sheets.
Notes:
- East Windsor, Sandwich, and Walkerville were amalgamated into the city of Windsor in 1935, and all streets in the area were renumbered at that time. I have approximated the locations based on the current numbering system as closely as possible using the “reverse lookup” section of the 1935 city directory as a reference. I am still working on deciphering a few addresses.
Store tags:
- A&P
- Dominion
- IGA
- Loblaws
- M&P
- Red & White
- Steinberg/Miracle Mart
- Zehrs

August 18, 2019 at 7:32pmJust checked my directory page images and I have a listing for a Gordon’s at 3033 Forest Glade Drive, which seems to be a shopping center in the middle of a residential subdivision. Could that be the one?
