Mayfair was in Reno until sometime in the late 80's. The store on Plumb became "The Market" and was not open long. I am not entirely sure who owned that store after Mayfair or what the arrangement there was. It is now a Marshalls. The store in downtown Reno on N. Virginia St. became JJ's Food Co. which was a Scolaris Warehouse Market without the branding and higher prices. It was demolished in the mid 1990's for the Silver Legacy Casino. The Mayfair in Carson City became a Scolaris Warehouse Market. It is now a Harbor Freight Tools. There was also a Mayfair in Elko, that is now Roy's Foodtown. Someone has told me there was once a Mayfair in Hawthorne but I am not really sure of that.

1901 Silverada was still open as Warehouse Market in 1981 and today is branded Sak N Save (Scolaris discount format). I think maybe it is in a different or expanded space now as it is a very large space that I understand started life as some kind of discount store. Evidently Warehouse Market had a smaller store elsewhere on the property over the years.

Also the Lakeside Dr. Reno and Sun Valley Dr. Warehouse Market locations started life as "Big D Foods" according to some Reno City Directories I had. Probably in the early 70's. Those were stores 8 and 9.

I pulled Carson City out of the spreadsheet and will be doing that as a separate page soon.

You didn't find any Fox Markets or Fox's Food Fair?

Food Fair Stores bought a chain in Southern California called Fox Markets in the 1960's.

There were 50 stores in California and 25 in Nevada.

I imagine Reno was too far north and that all the Fox’s stores will probably concentrated in the Las Vegas area.

One of the things I noticed on the list is that there is a Scolari's listed on Longley Lane. That is the "new" corporate headquarters, after they sold their Sparks distribution center at the intersection of McCarran & Nugget many years ago.

At this point, you can almost add the Super Kmart stores at 4855 Summit Ridge (now a storage unit) and the 3456 N Carson St buildings (vacant since Kmart left in 2003) to the list.

Smith's in Carson City opened in 1989, IIRC, it was while I was still going to Corbett Elementary up the street. I remember we got to take field trip to the store right after it opened. It was built over the top of an old Wienerschnitzel (in the SE corner of the lot.)

I don't think this chain was ever in Reno.
