Marc's
Marc's is a discount drugstore-and-grocery chain, with stores in northern and central Ohio. It is owned by Clevelander Marc Glassman, who also owns Xpect Discounts, a four-store chain in western Connecticut. Marc's has over 60 stores in the Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and Columbus areas.
==History==
Bernie Shulman opened his first mega-discount drug store in Mayfield Heights in the 1970s. In 1979 one of Shulman's managers, Marc Glassman, opened his own store, Marc's, on the west side of Cleveland in the Southland Shopping Center in Middleburg Heights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb3007/is_n9_v16/ai_n28638880/ )〕 That first store was badly damaged in a fire in October 1980 that started in, and destroyed, the adjacent J.C. Penney department store. Marc's closed for several months, eventually reopening in a larger space at the same site.
Following the success of the Middleburg Heights store, Glassman built additional Marc's stores. In 1983, he purchased Shulman's store.〔 Glassman continued to build stores in Greater Cleveland. Glassman's western stores were named Marc's, while those to the east were named ''Bernie Shulman's'', to honor Shulman, who died in 1976, and because of brand recognition.
As the Marc's stores expanded south to Solon and Akron, the recognition of the ''Marc's'' name grew. Glassman decide to retire the ''Bernie Shulman's'' name for new stores, using the ''Marc's'' name for grand openings, including stores east of Cleveland. The first of the Marc's "superstores" opened in Garfield Heights on June 30, 1992. By year's end, all ''Bernie Shulman's'' stores were rebranded ''Marc's''.
