This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Battle Creek between 1926 and 2019, 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:
- A major renumbering/renaming occurred between 1926 and 1931. Some 1926 numbers are approximate.
- Unfortunately, I am missing data for 1965, which looks like it would be very interesting, particularly with respect to National.
Store tags:
- A&P
- Dole’s
- Felpausch
- IGA
- Kroger
- Meijer
- National

January 18, 2020 at 10:41amI think the current Family Fare store at the Urbandale Plaza in Battle Creek, Michigan, may have been a Meijer supermarket (not Thrifty Acres), maybe until 1976-77, when they moved to their then-new West Columbia Avenue elsewhere in town.
