This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in the New Orleans area (including New Orleans, Westbank, Metairie, Kenner, and Jefferson Parish) between 1925 and 2015, 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.

January 18, 2025 at 10:20pmPer the directories (as noted in the listings on this page) it opened sometime between 1994 and 2000 and replaced a much older store about four blocks away. I can’t say this from first-hand knowledge as I’ve never lived there but the current store does look like it probably dates from the 1990s.
