I shopped there and even volunteered quite a lot. It was founded by members of the Divine Light Mission, followers of Prem Rawat, aka Guru Maharaj Ji, a young guru from India
My sense is that in the late '70s through, at least, the early '80s, Rainbow Groceries were located widely throughout the U.S. My first Rainbow was on West Wellington in Chicago. Upon my transfer by CDC to Denver, I hoped to locate a local Rainbow and indeed there she was. Two years later, this time transferred to Houston, again, I lucked out finding a Rainbow in the Rice University area. Always great selections, though far philosophically from the community-based food co-op I'd imagined I find. Successful new posts during the years later--Florida, Georgia--I no longer located any more Rainbows.
