This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Lansing between 1925 and 2020, 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 through 1960 courtesy of Andrew Turnbull.

Notes:
- Sadly, there is a lot of missing data on this one. Discussion here. Basically, A&P and kroger are not listed pre-1946.
- National and Schmidt’s data is from 1959 rather than 1960.
- The Frandor Center addresses are inconsistent; stores that did not move still may have changed addresses. Listings on Frandor Avenue, Clippert Street, and Mall Court are suspect.
- Okemos stores prior to 1978 are not reflected.
- Listings post-2000 seem to have some significant omissions. I have extrapolated where possible.
Store tags:
- A&P
- Eberhard
- Kroger
- Meijer
- National
- Packer
- Piggly Wiggly
- Shop-Rite (local co-op)
- Schmidt’s
- Shop-Rite
- Wrigley’s/Packer
