Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Carry a piece of Alabama grocery history into everyday wear with this Bruno's Supermarkets quarter zip pullover. The story began in 1932, when Joseph Sam Bruno bought a small Birmingham market for $600, then grew into a Southern business known through banners such as Food World and Food Fair. Its changing names and communities reflect the evolution of regional supermarkets. A thoughtful choice for collectors, former shoppers, and anyone who remembers the familiar neighborhood grocery store.

Bruno'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.
