MARC GLASSMAN INC, commonly known as Marc’s, is a regional discount retail chain headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in 1979 by Marc Glassman, the company operates stores throughout Northeast Ohio. The retailer specializes in offering deeply discounted merchandise, including groceries, health and beauty products, household items, and closeout merchandise. Marc’s is known for its “Close-Out” business model, purchasing excess inventory and discontinued items from manufacturers and selling them at significant discounts. The company maintains a strong presence in the pharmacy sector, operating in-store pharmacies at many locations. Their stores typically feature a combination of everyday essentials, seasonal items, and unexpected bargains. The company has expanded from its initial single store to over 60 locations across Ohio, primarily concentrated in the Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Youngstown metropolitan areas. Marc’s differentiates itself through its “No Frills” approach, maintaining basic store layouts and minimal decorative elements to keep costs low and pass savings to customers. Marc’s business strategy includes maintaining strong relationships with manufacturers and distributors to secure favorable pricing on closeout merchandise. The company also operates its own distribution center to efficiently supply its retail locations. Despite the growth of national discount chains, Marc’s has maintained its market position through competitive pricing and local market focus.
