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

    I 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.

    Perhaps it’s not a chain, and maybe I missed it on the list, but, Hamady (Hamady’s?) was at a few locations, after Kroger? Like at s. end of Columbia Plaza (now Ollie’s), at Goodale site….

      You are correct. I missed them because they were only open from about 1980 to 1982, but I was able to confirm them using newspapers and I have added a note about them. Thanks!
