 The
name Pathmark was established in 1968 by its founding fathers,
Herb Brody, Milton Perlmutter and Alex Aidekman. This new
company would provide a "path" for easy, one-stop
shopping, and be the "mark" of one of the most successful
supermarket retailers in the United States.
The
company was a pioneer in the "super center" concept,
which combined traditional grocery and perishable items with
expanded offerings on non-foods, including small appliances.
Pathmark was the first supermarket company in the Northeast
to operate its stores 24 hours each day, 7 days a week. Also,
the company was among the first in the Northeast to utilize
scanning registers at the checkout.
