GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of Chicago-area grocery history along on your travels with this Dominick's Luggage Tag. Founded by Dominick DiMatteo in 1918, the family business grew from neighborhood stores into a major regional chain, opening its first supermarket in 1950 and reaching 45 stores by 1970. Its Omni and Fresh Store concepts added new chapters before most locations closed in 2013. A fitting keepsake for former shoppers and collectors of local retail history.
Dominick DiMatteo, born in Sicily, founded Dominick's in 1918. The family opened a second store in 1934 and its first supermarket, a 14,000-square-foot location, in 1950. By 1968, the chain had 19 stores and was sold to Cleveland-based Fisher Foods, while the DiMatteos continued operating it. In 1970, Dominick's acquired 24 stores and a distribution center in Northlake, Illinois, from Kroger, bringing its total to 45. The family bought the chain back in 1981 and continued expanding. Dominick's launched its Omni Superstore format in 1987 and introduced its Fresh Store concept in 1993. After a sale to Yucaipa Companies, Safeway acquired the chain's 116 stores in 1998. Safeway later introduced its Lifestyle format, but the chain faced declining market share and store closures. Most locations closed on December 28, 2013; the last two, in Bannockburn and Westchester, Illinois, closed in January 2014. Roundy's acquired eleven stores in 2013, and Albertsons acquired Safeway in 2015. Dominick's operated in the Chicago area for 95 years.
