Magruder's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magruder's is a grocery store chain located only in and around the Washington, D.C. area. The chain is owned by a family who themselves were born and grew up in the Washington area. Magruder's is known for offering low prices on produce and other groceries. The stores are much smaller than those of a larger chain like Giant or Safeway, therefore the variety and availability of some products sometimes does not equal that of these larger chains. Currently, as of 2006, Magruder's no longer uses loyalty cards that allow the holder to save money on purchases- many grocery stores currently do use these cards, although their essentiality may be questionable.
[edit] History
More than a century ago, Commodore John Magruder owned two stores in the Washington area. He imported products to sell to Washingtonians, foreign dignitaries, and those who bought goods while travelling in carriages.
