Bernie Shulman opened his first mega-discount drug store in Mayfield Heights, Ohio in 1969.

On August 8, 2018, a Marc's store opened in Kettering, a suburb of Dayton in southwestern Ohio, in a former Kroger site.

During the recent recessions, business slowed and the cost to operate in Connecticut continued to increase.

In 1987, Glassman purchased, at auction, a Chuck E. Cheese, a restaurant/video game venue, in the Southland center, near the Marc's store.

When the Chuck E. Cheese franchise vacated the area, Glassman acquired and converted several venues in Greater Cleveland.

The original Marc's Funtime at Southland was among the strip of stores that were demolished to build a BJ's Wholesale Club.

In 1994, Glassman purchased Dover Lake Waterpark in Sagamore Hills, Ohio, which he operated until 2005.
