{"product_id":"dahls-foods-car-coaster","title":"Dahl's Foods Car Coaster","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring a piece of Iowa grocery history to every drive. This Dahl's Foods car coaster celebrates the Des Moines chain founded in 1931, a familiar name across Central Iowa long before its 2015 disappearance. Its story includes the Beaverdale supermarket, Dahl House pickup service, and the first U.S. grocery debit-card purchase at Ingersoll Avenue. A small collectible with a big local connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDahl's Foods was a Des Moines, Iowa grocery store chain founded in 1931 by Wolverine Thilbert “W.T.” Dahl. Its first location was a 1,000-square-foot store on Des Moines' east side. In 1948, the company opened its first supermarket in the Beaverdale neighborhood; its bakery was described as the first supermarket bakery between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. A 1952 store added a scratch bakery, pharmacy, and lunch counter. Until 1963, shoppers at that location could collect groceries at the “Dahl House,” a small parking-lot building supplied through an underground system. The Ingersoll Avenue store hosted the first U.S. grocery purchase using a debit card in 1981, and all stores had ATM POS terminals by 1983. Dahl's operated two Kansas City-area stores from 1979 to 1997. Facing growing competition, it began closing Iowa stores in 2014 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy that November. Associated Wholesale Grocers acquired seven stores in January 2015. The Dahl's name disappeared in March 2015, when five stores became Price Chopper locations and two Des Moines stores became Cash Saver.\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);\"\u003e2.6'' × 2.6\"\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);\"\u003eWidth, 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);\"\u003e2.60\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);\"\u003eHeight, 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);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" 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);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" 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);\"\u003e0.30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made from 100% soapstone — naturally absorbent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 1, 2, or 4-piece sets with the same print on each\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-sided full-color print with a matte finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 2.6″ × 2.6″ size fits most vehicle drink holders; notch for easy removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Removable “Made in China” sticker on the bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 1pc","offer_id":54576742531356,"sku":"32224854549828220822","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 2pcs","offer_id":54576742564124,"sku":"15172277486405999265","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/11457526510658291069_2048.jpg?v=1789644060","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/dahls-foods-car-coaster","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
