1973 THROWBACK: "GROCERY SHOPPING"

Grocery stores in America have blossomed from mom-and-pop markets into nationwide superchains. Every town had its local food shop, some of which grew into regional chains, some of which grew into giant corporations. There's something so alluring about those everbright florescent lights, the waxy fruit, the mist coming off the freezer cases.

It's a dog-eat-dog industry, and over the decades different companies have swallowed one another. The grocery store where you once shopped with your mom, or where you bagged groceries as a teen, varied depending on where you lived.

There are dozens of chains that have come and gone, brand names that operated in different pockets of the country. We picked just nine names that stuck in our memory. If you don't recognize one, you probably grew up in a different state.

What bygone grocery store did you shop at in the past?
