MS Historical Chain Stores

Survey: Mississippi Stores

The Community Noise Lab is conducting research on dollar stores and their relation to childhood obesity. This survey aims to better understand what chain stores were present in Mississippi in the 1990s, which stores sold food products and which stores are important for purchasing food presently. Historical business data was obtained from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Data-Axle database for Mississippi in 1997 and 2024. This survey is anonymous and your participation is voluntary; you are free to stop taking the survey at any time. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
