Plaid Pantries, Inc. traces its founding to 1960 by John Piacentini. The name refers to the plaid decoration originally on both the store buildings and the roadside pole signs.
Plaid Pantry can date its origins to the late 1950s when a California investor built multiple stores in the Portland area, with the financial backing of Alpenrose Dairy. Stores built from scratch by Handy Pantry/Alpenrose were under the Handy Pantry name; stores made by converting an existing structure were referred to as Speedy Mart. In 1963, the Handy Pantry/Speedy Mart chain went into bankruptcy. Alpenrose Dairy, as the major creditor, gained control of all the stores.
In 1960, John Piacentini decided to go into business for himself and opened his first store in east Portland, under the name John's One-Stop. He opened a few more stores and eventually was offered the opportunity to purchase the Handy Pantry/Speedy Mart chain with financial backing by Alpenrose Dairy. Piacentini changed the name of all the stores to Plaid Pantry, and continue to stock Alpenrose Dairy products.
