Item Description
From the Beginning a Family Store
As a teenager Robert Onstead delivered groceries for his uncle in Ennis, Texas. In 1954 when he was 24 and recently married, his father-in-law offered him a job at Randalls Super Valu Store in Pasadena. He also offered him important words of advice: "Treat your customers the way you treat your family". Onstead was a natural in the business. His marketing flair was demonstrated when he opened his second store shortly afterwards and for the occasion covered the building in a brand new material called Saran Wrap. The "Today" show came and televised it live.
Tom Thumb Food & Pharmacy is a chain of supermarkets in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Tom Thumb stores operate under the names Tom Thumb—traditional grocery stores; Flagship Tom Thumb—high end stores, usually in affluent areas. Tom Thumb and Randall's Food Markets make up the 112-store Texas division of Safeway Inc. Tom Thumb is (as of December 2005) the number three supermarket in the super-competitive Dallas/Fort Worth area (in terms of market share).
The chain's distribution center is in Roanoke, Texas.
