1930: The First Supermarket Opens. King Kullen in Queens, New York, lays claim to the title of the nation's first supermarket, opened by former Kroger employee Michael J. Cullen. Cullen pitched his idea for "monstrous stores with plenty of parking space" in a letter to Kroger's vice president that went unanswered, leaving him to build it himself.
