Wilkes-Barre Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1925-2020

Notes:

  • Several suburbs further from the core are not included (Pittston, Mountain Top, etc.) because they are not consistently represented in my data sources over the period.
  • There may be issues with some of the data after 1995 or so. I have tried to augment the gaps with newspapers and other sources, but may not have uncovered everything.
  • More notes to be added later.
