Dallas Participating Exhibitors

About the Company:

Back in 1948 two Dallas friends with family roots in the grocery business became intrigued with a new shopping concept. The men were J.R. Bost and Bob Cullum. The new concept was called "supermarkets". Together they bought a small local chain and for the first few years worked nights and weekends to upgrade the selection, quality and overall shopping experience. They made sure that, despite their small size, they could compete against the national chains. This eager customer service became represented by a friendly little cartoon figure in a grocer's apron, the still instantly recognizable Tom Thumb logo.

In 1999, Tom Thumb became part of Safeway Inc., a Fortune 50 company and one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America based on sales. The company operates more than 1,740 stores in the U.S. and Western Canada and employs almost 200,000 people.
