GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Wear a tribute to Victory Supermarkets and its generations-long New England story. Founded in Leominster in 1923 by brothers James and Louis DiGeronimo, the business grew from a neighborhood corner market into a multi-state chain. Its first full supermarket opened on North Main Street in 1955, and the family continued expanding before selling the company in 2004. This quarter-zip connects everyday style with the history of a regional grocery name remembered by collectors of local stores and family businesses.
Victory Super Markets began in 1923, when Italian-American brothers James and Louis DiGeronimo opened a small corner market in their hometown of Leominster, Massachusetts. The store specialized in fresh meats and home delivery. In 1955, the founders’ sons opened the chain’s first full supermarket on North Main Street, at the site that later served as company headquarters. The family expanded the business across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with a third generation joining in the 1980s. In 1996, Victory introduced Market Square, a food-focused store concept first tested in Kingston and later brought to Leominster and Derry, New Hampshire. Around 1999 and 2000, the chain acquired four Shaw’s locations in the Boston area and closed stores in Maynard and Amherst. In September 2004, Hannaford Brothers Company purchased Victory for $175 million; 19 of the 20 stores became Hannaford supermarkets, while the Athol store closed. Hannaford later closed its Ayer location in 2015, with plans for an independently owned Shop ’n Save supplied by Hannaford. In 2016, eight Hannaford locations were announced for sale to Big Y. The family-run chain employed more than 2,600 people at the time of its sale.
