This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Bloomfield and Montclair (including Verona, Caldwell, and Cedar Grove) between 1925 and 1969-71, 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. Please read about my methodology for more information about what I do and do not include.
