Geissler’s Supermarkets originated in 1923 when Adolph F. Geissler purchased a small grocery store from his brother for $2,500, located on Main Street in Broad Brook, Connecticut. The store, initially named A. F. Geissler, operated out of a two-story building where Adolph and his family also resided on the second floor. Offering a range of dry groceries, canned goods, teas, coffee, sugar, and salt—all sold in bulk and individually packaged for each customer—the store quickly became a local favorite.
Adolph’s visionary approach to grocery delivery, utilizing his Model T Roadster to collect orders and distribute groceries, was innovative for its time, showcasing his commitment to customer convenience. Today, Geissler’s Supermarkets stands as a testament to Adolph’s legacy, evolving into a beloved local institution with multiple locations across Connecticut.
With a steadfast dedication to quality products and exceptional customer service, the brand continues to uphold its founding principles. The supermarkets provide a diverse selection of grocery items, including fresh produce, meats, dairy products, and specialty foods, catering to the needs and preferences of the community. Additionally, Geissler’s remains actively involved in supporting local events, charitable organizations, and neighborhood initiatives, fostering strong community ties and contributing to the vibrant local culture.
