GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Take a piece of supermarket history along on your travels with this Pantry Pride luggage tag. The name traces back to Food Fair, founded by Samuel and George Friedland in Harrisburg in the 1920s. After Food Fair introduced the Pantry Pride discount format in Hazlet, New Jersey, in 1964, the banner spread across much of the chain. Its changing identity tells a story of American grocery growth, reinvention, and corporate change.
Pantry Pride grew from Food Fair, a supermarket business founded by brothers Samuel and George Friedland, who opened their first store in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in the 1920s. The Food Fair name appeared in the late 1940s, and the chain had 275 stores by 1957. Purchases expanded its reach, including Jacksonville-area Setzer's Supermarkets in 1958 and J.M. Fields department stores in 1961. Food Fair acquired Philadelphia's Best Markets, whose Pantry Pride private label became the name for a new discount-store format. Its first Pantry Pride store opened in Hazlet, New Jersey, on August 26, 1964. By the early 1970s, many stores had shifted to the Pantry Pride banner. Acquisitions in 1976 included Hills Supermarkets and 17 former Penn Fruit stores. Financial trouble brought bankruptcy in 1978 and ended the Friedland family's control. After restructuring, the company was based in Fort Lauderdale and operated as Pantry Pride Stores, Inc. In 1985, investor Ronald Perelman gained control and used Pantry Pride to acquire Revlon. In 1986, the corporate name changed to Revlon Group, marking the end of Pantry Pride as a grocery company. Remaining stores passed to other operators, and the final stores were closed or sold by 2000.
