Fazio's Shopping Bag Unisex Quarter Zip Pullover

Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Show your interest in Southern California's changing grocery landscape with this Fazio's Shopping Bag quarter zip pullover. The name recalls a chain that grew from one Los Angeles grocery store, passed through several owners, and received its Fazio's identity in 1972. Its independent brand story ended in 1978, when the stores were sold to Albertsons. This design offers a conversation-starting connection to local retail history for collectors, longtime residents, and anyone who enjoys tracing the stories behind regional brands.

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.
