This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Providence and Central Falls from 1925-1998, 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.
