Johnston's Grocery Store, at 301 N. Picacho in Casa Grande, Arizona, is a historic building built around 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

It was deemed significant for its use of adobe, which was rarely used for commercial buildings at the time of its construction. The building first served as a grocery store until 1932, first operated by Johnston and then by Wong Hong Chin. It was later home of Sofia's Mexican Chicken. [2]

It was owned from 1920 to 1935 by George Washington Johnston. [note 1]
