A commercial from the late 1980s from the St. Louis, MO National Supermarket chain. Once the 2nd largest grocery chain in St. Louis, it was sold in 1995 to Schnucks markets and most of the stores were left to fail. Read more about the history of National at www.robertstinnett.com

  • Seems now that the "National" symbol is being used in Canada by Dominion Supermarkets, per a commercial break last night during "Entertainment Tonight" on WGRZ here in Buffalo.

  • The National logo was the upside down version of Loblaw's logo (the parent company of National). Dominion is owned by Loblaw's.

  • its a shame what schnucks crime against st.louis. the took out Rapps, then chased out Krogers and then Bought out National, THEN they make it out like those grocers were leaving anyway so they look good. They still continue to Monopolize st.louis they tried to take out Shop N Save in the last strike i cant wait for Walmart supercenters to clean there clocks and give them a taste of there own medicine

  • Schnucks won't take out Shop N' Save as they are owned by SuperValu which has FAR DEEPER pockets than Schnucks has. I wouldn't set foot in a Schnucks today if I had to drive 30 miles to the next store.

  • Remember people if you are trying to lose weight, just because the item is on sale does not mean its healthy

  • Man, I was just talking about Nationals with my friend a few days ago!

  • Aw, that background music! Yay!

  • Safari Coffee only $3.00? LIARS!!!!

  • one bagger and 5+ checkouts does anyone think thats unfair worker treatment ?

  • The cities that I can think of here in Illinois that had a National supermarket before Schuncks bought the chain were Centralia and Fairview Heights.

  • fuck walmart i refuse to spend my money in that place

  • I hate to tell you this but,there is STILL a Shop N save open thats either in Festus,or Crystal CITY....

  • holy shit. my mom used to work at National. I remember when Schnucks bought them out and we went to the store my mom used to work at and most of the store was empty from all the food being bought. It was sad, but my mom's been with Schuncks since.

  • So THAT"S what happened with National...didn't they have some wack song called..."You're Important To Us?" LMAO!!!

    All insults to the side, I remember as akid it was the only "affordable" place to rent Nintendo cartridges. Sigh......
