About Fairplay Supermarkets

Company overview and description

Fairplay Supermarkets is a family-owned grocery chain serving Chicago and its surrounding south and southwest suburbs. The company was founded in 1975, starting with a single store on Chicago’s south side. Over the years, Fairplay has built a reputation for offering a broad selection of groceries, fresh produce, meat, bakery, and international foods, with each location tailored to the needs of its local community.

A significant moment in Fairplay’s growth came in 2017 with the opening of its Crestwood store, which introduced expanded fresh departments and a wider range of international products. Since then, the company has continued to modernize its stores and invest in upgrades, keeping pace with changing consumer preferences and enhancing the overall shopping experience.

As of November 2025, Fairplay operates 12 full-service supermarkets, all located in densely populated, diverse neighborhoods across Chicago, Worth, Hickory Hills, Oak Lawn, Calumet City, and other nearby communities. The company remains independent, with all real estate and operational decisions handled directly by its leadership team based at its Worth, Illinois headquarters.

Fairplay’s steady, organic growth and ongoing commitment to store improvements have established it as a reliable anchor for neighborhood and community shopping centers. The company continues to evaluate new locations and redevelopment opportunities, maintaining a focus on serving urban and suburban markets where demand for full-service supermarkets remains strong.
