{"product_id":"brunos-supermarkets-double-sided-keychain-charm","title":"Bruno's Supermarkets Double-Sided Keychain Charm","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrate Bruno's Supermarkets with a small keepsake inspired by a distinctly Southern grocery story. In 1932, Joseph Sam Bruno bought a Birmingham market for $600; over the following decades, the family business expanded into a multi-banner chain serving communities across several states. Its story includes familiar names such as Food World and Food Fair, as well as years of growth, change, and new ownership. This charm is a thoughtful pick for collectors of regional retail history and anyone who remembers Bruno's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruno's Supermarkets began in 1932, when Joseph Sam Bruno bought a small market in Birmingham, Alabama, for $600. The family business grew to four stores and a warehouse by 1952, incorporated in 1958, and became publicly traded in 1971. Its store formats and banners expanded to include Food World, Consumer Foods, Food Fair, Foodmax and others. In 1988, Bruno's acquired Piggly Wiggly Southern, which operated 82 Georgia stores, and partnered with Kmart on the American Fare hypermarket. After a 1991 plane crash killed several senior executives, the company continued through changing ownership and restructuring. KKR acquired Bruno's in 1995; the chain filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and emerged in 2000. Ahold bought it in 2001, and Lone Star Funds acquired the combined Bruno's and BI-LO operation in 2005. Bruno's later separated from BI-LO and returned its headquarters to Alabama. Following another bankruptcy in 2009, Southern Family Markets acquired store locations and banner rights. Birmingham-based Belle Foods bought that business in 2011 and announced plans to replace the Bruno's name. Belle Foods filed for bankruptcy in 2013.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Acrylic construction with white base and double-sided print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact size ~3.15\" x 1.57\" (8 x 4 cm); measurements may vary up to 1\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Includes metal ring and short chain for secure attachment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable, lightweight—made for everyday carry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Manufactured product sourced from China; intended for adult use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
