Per Chain Store Age Kroger opened at 147 S 4th in 1933 and at 430 Adams in the 1950s. Any more info on this?

This 1999 FTC document concerning the Albertsons/American Stores merger claims 2308 Cerrillos was operating as a Lucky as of 1999. What's the scoop on this?

Thank you for the clarification. It's a bit tricky when it comes to unfamiliar cities.

Great to see this addition to the Groceteria roster. 1000 block of third street (1950's) Now plumbing supply store Which Kroger would this be? I don't see anything close enough on the map. One of the first Krogers in town was also addressed at 513 Forsyth St. I wonder if this translated into 1512 ...

My notes:

* Seems like 229 Furys Ferry Rd does not point to any Kroger site.
* 2525 Washington might actually be 3535 Washington?
* 314 E Martintown was most likely the first Kroger in South Carolina.

From what I could tell these were done in the early 2000s as a seasonal thing and not a year-round thing. I'm more interested in regional departments... So Macy's wasn't the first with Toys R Us... Montgomery Ward had a full sized Toys "R" Us in their Gaithersburg MD location https://www ...

8650 W 63rd St for Kroger is tricky. Google Maps points to Overland Park and does not show any supermarket-type building at that intersection. Historic Aerials points towards the intersection of 63rd and Antioch to the west.

The Houston division seems to have been the largest pusher of Family Centers. They had stores in the Valley region, up the Gulf Coast almost to New Orleans, and several (that are all still open) in northeast Texas. Easily 70% were controlled out of Houston alone. Technically northeastern Texas ...

Agreed. Do wish Groceteria had a "thanks" button much like Retail Watchers does.

None that I know of from the company, but you could try contacting them. There are still many third-party resources dedicated to the memory of Giant, such as Facebook groups and the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington. I also have a spreadsheet ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d ...

Interesting to see a counter stick around in a large drug store chain! Then again Rite Aid has also gone experimental at times with things such as the Thrifty ice cream stands. Still strange to see they stuck around with the initial suburban drugstore wave though.

Whatever happened to this once-ubiquitous facet of the drugstore industry? I have tried looking online for when they were phased out and why, but instead I largely see documentation of their heyday or historical significance. Does anyone also think these can make a comeback in the present age of ...

Copy cat names were not uncommon: Numerous "Big Bears" used the name of a pioneering NJ store (Ohio, Michigan, California come to mind). The same names often competed near each other Food Fair had to call itself Foodlane in DC because there already was a local Food Fair chain. In NE Ohio, there was ...

Yet another Colorado-based "Supers" chain discovered - Valley Soopers, with at least one location in Rocky Ford as of 1954.
