## Description

Groceteria.com is a personal history project created by David Gwynn, documenting the development of chain grocery stores and supermarkets in the United States and Canada. Since 1999, the site has explored the retailers’ history with a particular focus on the buildings and locations they occupied, rather than on present-day supermarket operations. Its extensive collection includes historical lists of chain grocery and supermarket locations in hundreds of cities across every U.S. state and Canadian province, with coverage dating from the 1920s onward. Visitors can also read selected histories of North American supermarket chains, research articles, updates, and information about the site’s methodology, sources, and history. A message board provides a place to discuss supermarkets and other retailers, while the site’s Bluesky account shares announcements and updates. Groceteria.com is an informational and educational resource, not a grocery retailer or commercial service.
