This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Albuquerque between 1929 and 2005, 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:
- Furr’s operated stores under muiltiple names and formats, including Bag-N-Save and So-Lo.
- Furr’s purchased many Safeway stores around 1990.
- Piggly Wiggly and Shop Rite apparently operated under both names but also may have operated under the consolidated Piggly Wiggly Shop Rite name as well. It’s unclear from the city directories.
