Carry a piece of Memphis grocery history on your travels with this Seessel's Luggage Tag. The family business began in 1858 with Henry Seessel's downtown meat stand, then entered the supermarket era with its first Union Avenue store in 1941. The name endured through several changes in ownership and branding before the former stores joined other regional grocers. For travelers who collect local stories, Seessel's recalls a distinctive chapter in Memphis retail life and generations of family enterprise.
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.
