Product Details & Size Guide
Keep a piece of Baltimore-area retail history close during work or study with this Mars Laptop Sleeve. Mars grew from a single store opened by Joseph D'Anna in 1943 into a family-run chain serving communities such as Essex, Dundalk, Grey Manor, and Middle River. Generations of D'Anna family leadership shaped the company before its stores closed in 2016. This keepsake suits former shoppers, local history fans, and collectors drawn to the story of Maryland's neighborhood supermarkets.
Mars was a family-run grocery chain in the Baltimore, Maryland, area. Joseph D'Anna opened its first store on Old Eastern Avenue in 1943, after choosing the name from Mars Estates, an apartment complex in Essex. After a partnership with Bob Baum, the business moved south to Dundalk, where Joseph sold his interest to his brothers Angelo and Carmen. The brothers expanded the company, opening a Grey Manor store in 1954 and a Middle River store in 1958. Anthony joined the business in 1949, became a partner in 1955, and later served as vice president and senior grocery buyer. Mars continued to add locations, including a store that replaced its Old North Point Road location at Lynch Manor on Wise Avenue. Angelo died in January 1995, and Carmen became president; after Carmen's death in August 1997, his son Vito became president. Mars operated its own Baltimore distribution center until closing it in March 2014 and changing its supply arrangements. In May 2016, the company announced that all 13 stores would close by July 31. Weis Markets acquired five locations, while Mars sought other retailers for the remaining eight. The company had filed for bankruptcy in 2016.
