Keep a small reminder of Southern California grocery history close at hand with this Fazio's Shopping Bag double-sided keychain charm. The name reflects the 1972 rebranding of the chain under Fisher Foods, after a history that began with a single Los Angeles grocery store in 1930. The business later passed through major ownership changes, and its independent brand story ended when the stores were sold to Albertsons in 1978. A compact collectible for former shoppers, local-history enthusiasts, and supermarket memorabilia collectors.
Shopping Bag Food Stores began in 1930 as a single grocery store on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. The company opened its first supermarket in 1933 and went public in 1954. In January 1960, Shopping Bag, then operating 38 stores, announced a merger with Vons, which had 28 stores. The combined chain would have been the second largest supermarket chain on the West Coast. The Federal Trade Commission challenged the merger. After two lower court victories for Vons, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed those decisions in 1966 and ordered divestiture. In June 1967, Vons completed the sale of Shopping Bag Food Stores to E.F. MacDonald. MacDonald later acquired 31 A&P supermarkets in Los Angeles and converted them to the Shopping Bag name. In 1972, MacDonald sold the chain to Fisher Foods, which rebranded the stores as Fazio's Shopping Bag. In 1978, all stores were sold to Albertsons, ending the chain's independent brand history.
