This is it for Iowa, at least for now. This also enhances greater Omaha:

There are surprisingly few older stores still standing and recognizable in Council Bluffs. Kind of disappointing.

Two additional Big Bear chains that are no more were NC/VA (rebranded as Food World and then merged into Harris Teeter in 1984) and Seattle. I know that a lot of the older and smaller Big Star locations in southern and eastern NC ended up as Piggly Wiggly (many of them still open) but I’m not really...

Not the most exciting one ever and it may need some tweaks. Anyway, here it is, just in time for the caucuses (which is a coincidence since I started this one a few weeks back and got sidetracked): https://www.groceteria.com/place/us-iowa/cedar-rapids/ I do very much love that Cedar Rapids had a lon...

You could also make a case for Kmart Food, which really wasn't a leased department but a chain of supermarkets operated by different licensees around the country (ACF/Wrigley, Colonial/Big Star, miscellaneous wholesalers, etc.). Aside from the name, they were, as I understand it, pretty much complet...

Loblaw--many of the stores went to a wholesaler they controlled, Peter Schmitt which ran them under the Bell's name for awhile. Schmitt was the second fiddle to Flickinger in western NY. Ultimately Loblaw sold them to management and Bell's disappeared. Exactly. This was the final disposition of the...

Loblaw US would be filed with National Tea, which they owned from the 1950s on. The whole chain disappeared region by region with New Orleans (Canal Villere/National/That Stanley/Superstore sold to Schwegmann's, which collapsed under the weight of these stores) and St Louis (mostly went to Schnucks ...

I think I have a print copy of that book at home. I'll see what I can run down. I only got as far as South Bend and Mishawka when I was mapping the area.

The locations on Denver and 61st are both in the list. Broken Arrow is not because I didn’t dive into the suburbs with this pass. Maybe someday. I’ll have to see if I can dig up that diamond-shaped location. It sounds really interesting. 555 N. Denver was a marina that’s still standing and there’s a...

Thanks! I will correct that spelling issue.

I think Carl's showed up in the Miami-Dade stuff as well, and I will be adding new data to that at some unspecified point in the future as well.

Yeah, i will be adding footnotes and something of a timeline soon. Just haven't gotten it there yet,

One more Gulf Coast area before I move on to some other corner of the county.

New Orleans is now updated to include most of the Jefferson Parish suburbs (e.g. Metairie, Gretna, and Kenner, among others). I've also added listings from 1925.

Did these before the holidays but I haven't posted till now. I've added lists for a good chunk of the Greater Miami area, with more to come: Fort Lauderdale and Broward County: https://www.groceteria.com/place/florida/fort-lauderdale-and-broward-county/ Palm Beach County: https://www.groceteria.com/...

Thanks for the detailed information! Looks like that store and French Quarter LA were the two weird final locations (not in NYC) Just FYI, the 93-year-old Royal Street (French Quarter) store is sill plugging along as a Rouses. I was just there last week. It almost feels even smaller now than when i...
