Oklahoma City Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1930-2015

This is a list of all known chain grocery addresses in Oklahoma City between 1930 and 2015, 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.

Notes:

  • Kroger owned the Sipes Self-Serving and Piggly Wiggly stores in Oklahoma City (but apparently not the ones in Tulsa) in 1930 and seems never to have operated under its own name there.
  • Both chains were sold to Safeway around 1935 and were consolidated with the existing Skaggs Safeway chain in operation there.
  • Humpty Dumpty and Standard Food Stores were apparently related to each other and to the Goldman Bros. chain.
  • A&P apparently did not fare well in Oklahoma City, exiting after less than a decade.

    Went to the old location for 6022 S Western, and noticed the arched ceiling. Immediately knew this was an old Safeway. Now a Cocino de Mino restaurant.
