Bring a piece of Memphis grocery history to the table with this Seessel's Supermarkets pint glass. The family business began in 1858, when Henry Seessel opened a downtown meat stand, and entered the supermarket era with its first Union Avenue store in 1941. The Seessel name later passed through several owners as the chain grew and changed, before its Memphis stores were rebranded. This glass celebrates a familiar local name and a remarkable chapter in regional retail history, suited to relaxed evenings, gatherings, or a thoughtful addition to a Memphis memorabilia collection.
Seessel's Supermarkets was an upscale grocery chain based in Memphis, Tennessee. Its story began in 1858, when Henry Seessel opened a meat stand in downtown Memphis. The first Seessel's Supermarket opened on Union Avenue in 1941, carrying the family business into the supermarket era. In 1997, brothers Art and Jerry Seessel, the fifth generation of their family to operate the business, sold the chain to Alabama-based Bruno's Supermarkets. Bruno's struggled with the 10-store chain, and the Seessels took the stores back before selling them to Idaho-based Albertsons, Inc. in 1999. In 2002, Albertsons sold the 12-store chain to Schnucks, which rebranded the stores under its own name. Schnucks later left the Memphis market in 2011, selling the former Seessel's stores to Kroger. Across these changes in ownership and branding, the business remained associated with Memphis grocery history, from a downtown meat stand to a regional supermarket chain.

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.
