Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Take a distinctive piece of Southern California retail history along for a day on the course with this Fazio's Shopping Bag golf towel. Shopping Bag began as a single Los Angeles grocery store on Wilshire Boulevard in 1930 and grew through decades of changing ownership. The Fazio's Shopping Bag name arrived in 1972 under Fisher Foods, then disappeared as an independent brand after the 1978 sale to Albertsons. Its story connects local shopping memories with larger corporate changes, making this a fitting choice for collectors and fans of regional history.
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.
