This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Rahway between 1923 and 1980, 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.

Notes:

• Rahway went through a major street renumbering sometime between 1933 and 1937 in which basically every address in the entire city changed. I have determined the current locations as well as possible using Sanborn maps and other sources.
