Purchased by the Weisberg family in 1947, Chatham expanded across southeastern Michigan and reached 24 stores by 1968. Its history also includes changing store concepts and an early regional test of the Universal Product Code. This piece is made for casual gatherings and makes a conversation-starting keepsake for former shoppers, local history fans, and collectors of long-gone retail brands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChatham was a supermarket chain headquartered in southeastern Michigan. The Weisberg family, already active in the grocery business, bought Chatham Village Supermarket in 1947. By 1963, the name had shortened to Chatham and the chain had grown to nine stores on Detroit’s East Side. Peter Weisberg was president and board chairman, with other family members in executive roles. The company had 24 stores by August 1968 and became the first company in the Michigan area to test the Universal Product Code in 1975. In 1980, it was believed to be the region’s second-largest supermarket chain, with 44 stores and about $550 million in sales, though its private ownership meant those figures could not be confirmed. Its operations also included three Warehouse Way discount drugstores, a Chatham Plus superstore, and Pak-n-Save, a warehouse store opened that year. Chatham Plus and a meat-processing plant were later described as failed ventures; the plant, opened in 1966, closed in January 1979. Nu-Trax, Inc., led by Wendell Smith, bought Chatham in May 1985. Alex Dandy bought Nu-Trax in March 1986. After most stores closed, Chatham filed for bankruptcy in 1987. Dandy was convicted of multiple offenses in 1991.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRegular Can\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSlim Can\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e6.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable 100% polyester exterior with edge-to-edge vibrant print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Soft 100% foam liner for firm grip and insulation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lightweight and slim — fits regular and slim cans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Outside white polyester with black foam interior for contrast\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available sizes: Regular (3.5\" x 4.3\") and Slim (3.5\" x 6'\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe with a damp cloth, air dry or use a soft, non-abrasive cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Regular Can","offer_id":54667142365468,"sku":"29261312061885481594","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slim Can","offer_id":54667142398236,"sku":"39430454758718545725","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/15091120875655321911_2048.jpg?v=1791408784","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/chatham-supermarkets-can-cooler","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
