Origins of the modern supermarket rise in America
Dr. Gary Hansen of the University of Nebraska Lincoln notes the first true supermarket emerged about 1925 and by the late 1930s a large portion of grocers shifted to supermarket formats. The Progressive Grocer defines a supermarket as self service stores with annual sales of 500000 or more, with 47180 such stores in 1969 handling about 76 percent of the nation’s 62 billion dollars in grocery sales.
