For anyone who is crazy like I am, you know that it can be hard to find all the supermarkets in a given area. Some don't have websites, and others are too new to be listed on Google Maps. And what about those dozens of "farmers markets" that have been popping up across the Garden State? Is there a better way to find out where all the supermarkets in New Jersey are? Why yes, there is, thank you for asking! Here is my attempt at a complete list of every major food store in New Jersey. I'm sure I'm missing plenty, so feel free to fill me in. Leave a comment on this post or email me at njsupermarkets@gmail.com. But this is - as far as I know - the most complete and up-to-date listing of every grocery store in New Jersey. A few things: This spreadsheet includes the following categories: Discounter: Discount and price-impact stores. Supermarket: Large, full-service grocery stores with fresh products. Market: Smaller grocery stores with fewer services and less...

And now, introducing my masterpiece... As I started to learn more about supermarkets and supermarket history, I was fascinated by the Grand Union chain. I was not quite old enough to walk when most of its stores closed in 2001, and any substantive information about it online can be rather elusive. So, eventually, I thought, if I can make spreadsheets of existing Krasdale or Associated Group stores, why not former Grand Union stores as well? Now, I must admit, NY Retail Roundup has an absolutely amazing list of hundreds of former GU locations, but it's not complete. It, for instance, does not list street addresses, and it is missing many locations. So here is my own attempt at the last word in Grand Union lists! It's not perfect (probably it's missing hundreds of locations), but it is as far as I can tell the most complete list of former Grand Union locations available on the internet. You might notice I haven't been posting anything much for the last few days...

As promised long ago, here's a list of every single store affiliated with the Associated Group of NYC that I could find. As always, feel free to comment or email me with any additions, changes, or suggestions! SPREADSHEET Enjoy!

Okay everyone, for my first post I'll be posting something that might be completely useless, but I know if I found this online I would be thrilled. It's a spreadsheet containing every single (as far as I could find) Krasdale-affliliated or Krasdale-supplied store, arranged by state, city, and address, along with the banner. I don't know what this could possibly be used for, but it's here for your enjoyment nonetheless. By the way, I'm sure it's very incomplete. If there are any stores that I missed don't hesitate to let me know either in the comments or by email . I didn't include stores that are partially supplied by Krasdale (such as Supremo , which also self-distributes and buys Essential Everyday and Wild Harvest from Supervalu) or get Krasdale products through a third-party distributor. SPREADSHEET Enjoy!
