Celebrate a distinctive chapter of Memphis grocery history with this Seessel's Cotton Polo Shirt. The family business began with Henry Seessel's downtown meat stand in 1858, then entered the supermarket era when its first store opened on Union Avenue in 1941. The name stayed connected to Memphis shoppers through decades of changing ownership, from the Seessel family to several regional and national chains. It is a thoughtful everyday choice for people who appreciate local businesses, family-run histories, and the places that shaped their hometown.
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.
