GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep a piece of American retail history close with a phone case inspired by American Stores Company. From its 1917 Philadelphia beginnings to its Salt Lake City corporate years, the company brought many familiar grocery and pharmacy names together through decades of growth and change. This case makes a distinctive everyday accessory for collectors who remember those banners, study supermarket history, or enjoy the story behind regional stores. It offers a simple way to carry that connection wherever the day takes you.
American Stores Company began in 1917 when Philadelphia’s Acme Tea Company combined with four local grocery businesses to form a 1,223-store chain. It grew to nearly 1,800 stores by 1925 and bought 305 grocery and meat stores in northern New Jersey in 1928. Later milestones included acquiring California’s Alpha Beta in 1961 and merging with the Skaggs Companies in 1979; the combined company kept the American Stores name and was headquartered in Salt Lake City. In 1984 it acquired Jewel Companies, adding Jewel Food Stores, Osco Drug, Star Market, Sav-on Drugs, Buttrey Food Stores and White Hen. The company acquired Lucky Stores in 1988, then sold or restructured several businesses as it reduced debt and consolidated operations. In 1992 it began a company-wide integration plan, while continuing to operate familiar grocery and pharmacy banners. Albertsons announced its acquisition in August 1998, and the deal was completed in June 1999. American Stores was delisted and ceased to exist as a company; Albertsons retained the Acme Markets, Jewel-Osco, Osco Drug and Sav-on Drugs names, while Lucky stores were later rebranded.
