The most important aisle in a grocery store doesn’t have a number hovering over it. It isn’t lined with canned goods, dog food, cereal boxes, or 5 lb. bags of flour and sugar. It’s not even the meat counter.
It’s the “aisle” full of grocery carts, all bunched together, waiting to be unscrambled for you to begin your shopping adventure.
The birth of the grocery cart dates back to 1939 when entrepreneur Sylvan N. Goldman, owner of the Humpty Dumpty grocery store chain in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma decided to make grocery shopping easier.
He took two folding chairs and envisioned raising one seat several inches and placing the other seat below to give room for baskets. The back of the chair could be used as a handle and wheels could be attached to each leg.
Through his ingenuity, he helped his customers and future generations to “carry the load” in grocery shopping.
Carrying the load.
That’s what we’re all about.
Helping each other, bearing one another’s burdens – but far beyond the stocked aisles of a grocery store.
