I think the grocery store is the next industry to consolidate like the department store sector with Macy's, Dillard's, and Belk (Bon-Ton--future unknown) and the pharmacy chains into Walgreens and CVS/pharmacy (Rite Aid--future unknown).
Name your predominant chains that have stores all over the area (and if it's a regional nameplate name the parent owner, e.g. "Tom Thumb (Safeway)")

All of Kentucky:
- Kroger (started in nearby Cincinnati)
- Sav a Lot
In the past 10 years...
- Meijer's (Midwest based, basically a fancy version of a WM Super Center)
- Wal Mart Super Centers, past couple of years a lot of WM Neighborhood Centers opening in Lou & Lex
In Pennsylvania we have Weis (headquartered in Sunbury, PA), Genaurdis (a Philly-area chain that used to be family-owned but was bought out by Safeway), and Wegmans (Actually a Rochester, New York chain that expanded into PA).
Could you please exclude Wal-Mart Supercenter and Super Targets since they don't fit with the traditional meaning because they are discount stores with food and they are already nationwide?
Here in the Youngstown area we have Sparkle Market, Giant Eagle (out of Pittsburgh), IGA, Marc's (Cleveland i believe), Save a lot............maybe a few others, but i cant think of anymore.
Albertsons
Wal Mart
Smiths
John Brooks
Pros Ranch Market(Mexican grocery store)
and Sunland Market,Trader Joes,Whole Foods and Wild Oats for Organic
