Honor a familiar Iowa grocery name with a Dahl's Foods embroidered dad cap. Dahl's served Des Moines and central Iowa from 1931 until its name disappeared in 2015, leaving behind memories of Beaverdale shopping, Ingersoll Avenue innovation, and generations of neighborhood customers. This relaxed cap gives collectors and former employees a wearable connection to the independent supermarket chain and its place in local retail history.
Dahl'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.
