This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Puyallup and Sumner between 1947 and 1989, 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
- Some of the addresses have changed since 1989 as numbers, etc. have migrated on of off of the city grid and on to the county grid (or however that works here). I’v compensated as well as I can.
