Last updated on 16 June 2025.
This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Atlantic City between 1925 and 1976, 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. P
lease read about my methodology for more information about what I do and do not include.
Notes
No city directories were published after 1981, and the 1976 directory is the last with any listings for chain grocers.
