GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate FedMart’s place in American discount retail history with a pint glass that recalls the chain’s beginnings in San Diego in 1954. Sol Price opened the first store in an inherited warehouse, and the business grew from a membership-based shop into a Southwest retailer with food, pharmacies, optical departments, and more. A thoughtful pick for former shoppers, retail-history enthusiasts, and anyone who remembers FedMart’s regional reach. Raise a glass to a chapter of shopping history that began in California and spread across the Southwest.
FedMart began in 1954 in San Diego, California, when attorney Sol Price opened a discount store in an inherited warehouse at 2380 Main Street. Initially open to government employees through a family membership, it sold a mix of jewelry, furniture, and liquor and took in $4.5 million in its first year. A second store opened in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1955, followed by one in San Antonio, Texas; the chain later expanded across California and the Southwest. In the 1960s, FedMart dropped membership requirements and added food, wholesale-priced gasoline, pharmacies, and optical departments. It became publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange in 1969. In 1975, German businessman Hugo Mann gained control of the company, and Price left his leadership role the next year. FedMart expanded through leases and acquisitions, including the West Coast division of Two Guys in 1977 and Globe Store in 1978. With about 70 stores by 1979, the chain later began losing money. Mann took it private in 1981, and FedMart closed in 1982. Target leased 35 former locations, while the remaining sites went to Ralphs or other retail operators. Some former stores continued under new ownership, and the company changed its name to Sunbelt Realty.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
