GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep notes, lists, and memories alongside a recognizable chapter of New York supermarket history. This Waldbaum's spiral notebook honors the grocery business founded by Sam and Wolf Waldbaum in Brooklyn in 1904 and its growth into a regional chain known across Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, the Bronx, and surrounding communities. The subject brings a familiar neighborhood feeling to school, work, journaling, or collecting, while recalling the everyday identity of classic supermarkets and family-run beginnings.
Waldbaum'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&P's 2015 bankruptcy, locations were sold to Stop & 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&P and Waldbaum's for potential private-label licensing.
