This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Newark between 1925 and 1964, 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.
Access and download the location spreadsheet via Google Sheets.
Notes:
- The assorted United stores were presumably related.
- Not certain if the Big Bear chain here is related to the pioneering chain in New York.
- No city directories were published for Newark after 1964 and the telephone directories are very incomplete.
Store tags:
- A&P
- American/Acme
- Eagle
- Mutual Grocery
- National Grocery
- Safeway
- Union
- United
