Eisner Food Stores was a chain of supermarkets in Illinois and Indiana.

Within a few years, the Eisner stores began closely resembling Jewel in appearance and marketing strategies.

The computers that are attached to the electronic cash registers are used to sort the purchases for the different stores.

[7] In July 1982, an Eisner-Osco combo store was opened in Bloomington, Indiana.

[22][23] In 1984, Eisner's parent, the Jewel Companies was unable to defend itself from a very expensive hostile takeover by American Stores.

[24] After the takeover, American Stores decided to save money by merging Eisner directly into Jewel, converting all stores to the Jewel name in 1985,[8][25][26] and slowly started to sell off the former Eisner properties.

[29][30][31][32] Jewel also closed central Illinois locations that were formerly Eisner stores in Mattoon (in 1991),[33] Decatur (in 1995),[34] Champaign-Urbana (in 1998),[35] and Springfield (2006).

[36] The Eisner Grocery Company had a business presence in Lafayette, Indiana, since May 1925 when the first store was opened in that city as a Piggly Wiggly.

[6] The company expanded to Bloomington, Indiana, by the opening of an Eisner-Osco Family Center there in November 1970.

[11] The Eisner brand was introduced to the state capital of Indianapolis through the opening of three Turn-Style/Eisner Family Centers in the Fall of 1970.
