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.

[7] Later that year, another Eisner-Osco Family Center was opened in Bloomington, Indiana.

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

[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.
