This is a list of all chain grocery locations my research has uncovered in Prince William County (specifically Manassas, Woodbridge, Dale City, and Dumfires) between 1963 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.
