Plaid Pantry is a chain of privately owned convenience stores based in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. Of 108 locations, one is in the Seattle, Washington area, eight are near Salem, and the remainder are in the Portland metropolitan area. 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 filed for bankruptcy. Alpenrose Dairy, the major creditor, gained control of all the stores. More information...
