{"product_id":"waldbaums-car-magnet","title":"Waldbaum's Car Magnet","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring a recognizable piece of New York-area supermarket history along for the ride with a Waldbaum's car magnet. Founded in Brooklyn in 1904, Waldbaum's grew from a family grocery into a regional chain remembered across Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, the Bronx, and surrounding communities. It is a simple way for former shoppers, local-history enthusiasts, and supermarket collectors to celebrate a familiar name from the area's everyday shopping landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaldbaum's began in 1904, when brothers Sam and Wolf Waldbaum opened a grocery store in Brooklyn after immigrating from the Galician region of Ukraine. Their nephew, Israel \"Izzy\" Waldbaum, joined the business and later took over after his uncles retired. In 1948, Izzy's son Ira assumed leadership of six Brooklyn stores. The company opened its first supermarket in Flushing, Queens, in 1951, went public in 1961 while the family retained majority ownership, and reached 25 stores and $80 million in sales that year. Waldbaum's acquired the Food Mart chain in Connecticut and Massachusetts in 1970. At its 1980s peak, it ranked as the United States' 12th-largest supermarket chain, with 140 New York metropolitan area stores. In November 1986, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company acquired controlling interest, while the Waldbaum family continued managing the stores. After A\u0026amp;P's 2015 bankruptcy, locations were sold to Stop \u0026amp; Shop, Key Food, Best Yet Market, Wakefern Food Corporation, and other operators. All Waldbaum's stores were sold or closed by November 2015. In December 2018, American Legacy Brands purchased the intellectual property rights for A\u0026amp;P and Waldbaum's for potential private-label licensing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e7.5'' × 4.5''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e7.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% vinyl face with matte finish for a muted, non-reflective look\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Black magnetic backing grips metal surfaces and removes cleanly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- All-weather durability—resists rain and sun exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in three sizes to fit vehicles, toolboxes, or merch displays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Printed with Digital-Direct Printing (DDP) for sharp, long-lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"7.5'' × 4.5'' \/ Rectangle \/ 1 pc","offer_id":54625239236892,"sku":"14809530384038049559","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/5196200339826605138_2048.jpg?v=1790747947","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/waldbaums-car-magnet","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
