Take the story of Big Bear Stores on the road with this travel mug. Founded in Columbus in 1933, Big Bear grew from its 1934 West Lane Avenue opening into a memorable Ohio and West Virginia grocery institution. The artwork nods to a company known for early shopping carts, Harts Stores, Big Bear Plus, and the final Wild Card years. It is made for longtime shoppers, road-trip regulars, and fans of Midwest supermarket history.
Big Bear Stores was a regional American supermarket chain founded by Wayne E. Brown in Columbus, Ohio, in November 1933. Its first store opened on West Lane Avenue on February 15, 1934, beside Ohio State University, helping mark the start of self-service supermarketing in the Midwest. The company expanded through Columbus and other Ohio cities, later operating across Ohio and West Virginia. Big Bear introduced shopping carts in 1937, used cashier-operated motorized conveyor belts, and adopted the IBM 305 RAMAC mainframe in the 1950s. In 1954 it acquired Harts Stores, a department-store business that often operated beside Big Bear groceries. Big Bear also used Food Club, Valu Time, and Betty Brown private-brand products. After a 1976 leveraged buyout, the company returned to public ownership in 1983. Penn Traffic acquired Big Bear in April 1989. Big Bear Plus, a food-and-general-merchandise format begun in 1988, gradually replaced Harts locations in the early 1990s. Penn Traffic's 2004 bankruptcy led to the closure of all remaining Big Bear Stores.
