This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Anchorage between 1948 and 2018, compiled from city directories, telephone books, and other sources. This list 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:
- Following the Carrs/Safeway merger in 1999, stores were listed under a variety of names (Carrs, Safeway, and Carrs Safeway) and sometimes under multiple names.
- There were apparently some Piggly Wiggly locations in the 1960s, but I can find no listings in the city directories for them.
Store tags:
- Carrs
- Fred Meyer
- New Sagaya
- Piggly Wiggly (not reflected in list)
- Safeway
