This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Grand Rapids between 1925 and 1959, 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.
Location list courtesy of Andrew Turnbull.
Access and download the location spreadsheet via Google Sheets.
Notes:
- The “1955” column is actually an amalgam of listings from 1954 (Kroger), 1955 (most chains), and 1956 (A&P, Eberhard).
- For 1960, I wasn’t able to list Kroger locations at all.
